Overview
Delirium = severe neuropsychiatric syndrome Acute onset Fluctuating course of inattention
Contributing factors: Preexisting functional/cognitive impairment, acute
medical illness, trauma, surgery or medications 30 - 50% older adults with hip fx experience
perioperative delirium

Overview
Pathophysiology of Delirium Poorly understood Physiologic stress response metabolic
changes Possible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
activation

H-P-A Axis

Overview
Cortisol = major stress hormone Functions:
Increase blood sugar via gluconeogenesis Suppress immune system Aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism
Glucose and Insulin Counteracts insulin, causing hyperglycemia Inhibits peripheral utilization of glucose

Objective
To determine the relationship b/t perioperative delirium and cortisol, glucose and insulin in older patients acutely admitted for hip fracture

Methods
Blood Samples 1 pre-op, 1 - 3 post-op All collected around 11 am Kept on ice Centrifuged to separate plasma & serum Cortisol, Glucose and Insulin measured
![Page 11: Cortisol, Insulin & Glucose and the Risk of Delirium in Older Adults with Hip Fracture Peter H. Bisschop, MD, PhD; Sophia E. de Rooij, MD, PhD; Aeilko](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e9e5503460f94b9ff03/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Statistical Analyses
T-tests and Mann-Whitney Tests Log transformation used to fulfill normality 4 separate analyses used to look at relationship b/t C,
logG, logI and logI:G Random effect = participant # Fixed effects = day of sample, delirious state, age, sex,
preexisting cognitive & functional impairment Logistic Regression
Dependent variable = delirium Independent variables = C, G, I, I:G
Samples of participants with preexisiting DM taken before/after delirium were excluded

Results
143 individuals 49% with delirium 51% without delirium
457 samples 196 with delirium
28 before 137 during 60 after
232 without delirium

Results
Pre-admission cognitive/functional impairment more prevalent in pts WITH delirium Pre-operative cortisol related to cognitive impairment
Delirium a/w higher cortisol and lower insulin in univariate analysis Not significant after correction for pre-existing
cognitive/functional impairment in multivariate analysis No difference in insulin w/ or w/o delirium in either analysis

Conclusion
Negative study for cortisol, insulin and glucose & the risk of delirium in people with hip fracture
![Page 16: Cortisol, Insulin & Glucose and the Risk of Delirium in Older Adults with Hip Fracture Peter H. Bisschop, MD, PhD; Sophia E. de Rooij, MD, PhD; Aeilko](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e9e5503460f94b9ff03/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Limitations
Results are not generalizable Abnormal glucose levels are only “defined”
for diabetes Would suspect a correlation b/t cortisol and
insulin
