This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative LSMM and postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery and to design a model to predict POD. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective observational cohort study. Patients aged 70 years or older undergoing CRC surgery from January 2013 to October 2015 were included in this study. The cross-sectional skeletal muscle area at the level of the third lumbar vertebra using computed tomography was adjusted for patients’ height, resulting in the skeletal muscle index. The lowest quartile per sex was defined as LSMM. Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire for Residential Care and KATZ-Activities of Daily Living were used to define malnourishment and physical dependency, respectively. POD was diagnosed using the Delirium Observational Screening Scale and geriatricians’ notes. Results: Median age of the 251 included patients was 76 years (IQR, 73–80 years), of whom 56% of patients were males, 24% malnourished, and 15% physically impaired. LSMM and POD were diagnosed in 65 and 33 (13%) patients, respectively. POD occurred significantly more in patients with LSMM (25%) compared with patients without LSMM (10%), P=0.006. In the multivariate analysis, age, history of delirium, and LSMM were significantly associated with POD. In addition, this effect increased in patients with LSMM and malnourishment (P=0.019) or physical dependency (P=0.017). Conclusion: Age, history of delirium, LSMM, and malnourishment or physical dependency were independently associated with POD. Our nomogram could be used to identify patients at an increased risk for delirium. These patients may benefit from intensive monitoring to prevent POD.Keywords: skeletal muscle mass, sarcopenia, colorectal surgery, postoperative delirium, elderly, nomogramMosk CAvan Vugt JLAde Jonge HWitjes CDMBuettner SIjzermans JNMvan der Laan LDove Medical Pressarticleskeletal muscle masssarcopeniacolorectal surgerypostoperative deliriumelderlynomogram.GeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2097-2106 (2018)
