Abstract
The perioperative glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor levels in patients with postoperative cognitive dysfunction were lower than in patients without postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor could be an effective predictor for the occurrence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. The results reveal a potentially important role of decreased glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor levels in postoperative cognitive dysfunction, with possible treatment targets.
