Core Tip

Core Tip: This study developed a risk prediction model for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, identifying key risk factors such as diabetes, alcohol consumption, intraoperative hypoxemia, non-use of dexmedetomidine (DEX), surgery duration ≥ 90 minutes, and a systemic inflammatory response syndrome score ≥ 3. The model demonstrated good predictive performance, with high sensitivity and specificity, and highlights the preventive value of DEX in reducing POCD incidence. This research provides valuable insights for improving POCD prevention and management in CRC patients.
