Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pre-operative administration of methylprednisolone reduced circulating markers of endothelial activation. This randomized, double-blind was to evaluate whether a single pre-operative dose of methylprednisolone reduced the rate of postoperative delirium (POD) in older patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, and its association with the shedding of endothelial glycocalyx markers. METHODS: 168 patients, aged 65-80 years and scheduled for laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery, were randomized to 2 mg·kg -1 methylprednisolone (Group M, n = 84); or equivalent dose of placebo (Group C, n = 84). The primary outcome was the incidence of delirium during the first 5 days after surgery, assessed by the confusion assessment method (CAM). POD severity was rated daily using CAM-Severity (CAM-S). Level of syndecan-1, heparan sulfate, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were measured at baseline, 1-day, and 3-day after surgery. RESULTS: Compared with placebo, methylprednisolone greatly reduced the incidence of delirium at 72 h following surgery [9(10.7%) versus 20(23.8%), P =0.03, OR=2.22(95%CI 1.05-4.59)]. No between-group difference was found in the cumulative CAM-S score (P=0.14). The levels of heparan sulfate, syndecan-1, and TNF-α in Group M were lower than that in Group C (P <0.05 and P <0.01), while the level of BDNF in Group M was higher than that in Group C (P <0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Pre-operative administration of methylprednisolone does not reduce the severity of POD, but may reduce the incidence of delirium after gastrointestinal surgery in elderly patients, which may be related to a reduction in circulating markers of endothelial degradation, followed by the increase of BNDF level.
