Association between frailty and postoperative delirium after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a meta-analysis (opens in new tab)

BackgroundPostoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with adverse outcomes in older patients. Frailty, a multidimensional geriatric syndrome, has been increasingly recognized as a potential risk factor for POD. However, existing evidence remains inconsistent.
