Postoperative cognitive dysfunction: true deterioration versus random variation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mortality rates in critically ill adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) remains high, and numerous patient- and disease-related adverse prognostic factors have been identified. In recent years, studies in a variety of emergency conditions suggested that outcome is dependent on the time of ...
