摘要:

目的 探讨术前血清镁(sMg)水平与老年患者术后谵妄(POD)发生的关系,并评估全身炎症反应在该关联中的中介作用。 方法 本研究为单中心回顾性队列研究,纳入2014年1月~2021年12月在中国人民解放军总医院接受非心脏非神经外科手术的12,876例老年患者。所有患者术前30 d内完成血清镁和C反应蛋白(CRP)检测。POD诊断基于电子病历系统,采用结构化病历回顾法识别术后7 d内POD发生情况。采用Logistic回归模型及限制性立方样条(RCS)分析sMg水平与POD风险的关联,并进行亚组分析评估异质性。进一步构建结构方程模型(SEM)评估CRP在sMg与POD关系中的中介作用,调整年龄、性别、营养状态、肿瘤、糖尿病及肝肾功能等混杂因素。 结果 POD共发生685例,发生率为5.3%。术前sMg水平与POD风险呈显著非线性关系,最低风险对应sMg水平约0.90~0.94 mmol/L。与第四五分位组相比,最低五分位组患者POD风险显著升高(OR=1.81,95% CI:1.41~2.35),且该关联在多因素调整后依然稳健。中介效应分析显示,CRP解释了sMg与POD总关联的17.1%,其中癌症患者中介比例达24.1%,显著高于非癌症患者(11.9%)。敏感性分析及E值计算进一步支持结果的稳健性。亚组分析提示该非线性关联在癌症患者及≥75岁高龄人群中更显著(P=0.013)。 结论 术前低血镁状态与术后谵妄风险显著相关,呈非线性关系,且该关联部分通过全身炎症反应介导。血清镁作为常规可检测且具干预潜力的生物标志物,具有良好的临床应用前景,有望为围术期高风险患者的POD早期识别与干预提供重要依据。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the association of preoperative serum magnesium (sMg) level with postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly surgical patients and the mediating role of systemic inflammation. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted among 12 876 patients aged ≥65 years undergoing non-cardiac, non-neurological surgeries at Chinese PLA General Hospital between January, 2014 and December, 2021. Preoperative sMg and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured within 30 days before surgery. POD was identified within 7 days postoperatively using structured chart review based on the Confusion Assessment Method. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to evaluate the association between sMg and POD. Mediation analysis with structural equation modeling was used to quantify the indirect effect of CRP after adjusting for the confounding factors. Results POD was identified in 685 (5.3%) of the patients. A significant nonlinear association was observed between preoperative sMg levels and POD risk, and POD incidence was the lowest in patients with sMg levels of 0.90-0.94 mmol/L. Compared with those in the 4th quintile, the patients in the lowest quintile exhibited a markedly increased risk of POD (OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.41-2.35) even after adjustment for multiple confounding factors. Mediation analysis suggested that CRP explained 17.1% of the total effect of sMg on POD risk, and a stronger mediating effect was observed in cancer as compared with the non-cancer patients (24.1% vs 11.9%). Subgroup analyses revealed a significant nonlinear relationship between sMg and POD particularly in cancer patients and patients beyond 75 years of age. Conclusion Preoperative sMg level is independently associated with an increased POD risk in elderly patients, mediated partly by systemic inflammation. sMg may serve as a modifiable biomarker for early risk stratification and prevention for POD in perioperative care.
