SUMMARY:Leopoldina-Symposium „Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction”
DESCRIPTION:More than 200 million surgical procedures are performed worldwi
 de every year. In industrial nations a large part of these operations are a
 ttributable to elderly patients. These patients are prone to suffer from co
 mplications even during planned surgery. Besides cardiovascular and surgica
 l complications, they are at high risk for developing acute and chronic pos
 toperative cognitive dyfunctions.  Several studies have shown that delirium
 , which is the most common type of acute postoperative cognitive disorder, 
 is associated with a loss of individual autonomy, increased care-dependency
  as well as an increased mortality. This explains the high relevance oft he
  topic. 30 % of the elderly patients suffer from delirium after a surigcal 
 procedure - in some specialities more than half of the patients. A preserve
 d cognitive performance and a good physical condition are both required for
  individual autonomy and a high quality of life at any age.  Today, there a
 re already several effective strategies to minimise negative consequences a
 nd maintain cognitive perfor-mance. Nevertheless, we are facing a lack of m
 edical care structure to implement and utilize these strategies adequately.
  This affects especially the interdisciplinary risk evaluation and the coop
 eration between outpatient and inpatient care. The range of postoperative c
 ognitive dysfunctions is linked to scientific, socioeconomic and social cha
 l-lenges. The Leopoldina-Symposium has been conceived to deal with these ch
 allenges in an inter-professional way. The symposium is focused to unite ex
 perts from science, the public sector, politicians, economics and other par
 ts of society to discuss socioeconomic and scientific questions.Photo: Bjoe
