Effects of Chinese traditional five-element music intervention on postoperative delirium and sleep quality in elderly patients after non-cardiac surgery: a randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
Chinese traditional five-element music intervention decreased the incidence of POD in elderly patients who underwent noncardiac surgery via improving sleep quality, which may be associated with increased levels of melatonin.
Study context
- Population
- Patients aged 65 to 90 years undergoing non-cardiac surgery
- Participants
- 132 patients
- Comparison
- Intervention vs Control
- Interventionn = 60
- Controln = 63reference
- Primary endpoint
- POD (Confusion Assessment Method)
- Follow-up
- First 5 days after surgery
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Incidence of POD · within 5 days
Further findings
Subjective sleep quality (Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) score) · first postoperative day
- Significant improvement in the Intervention vs Control group; scores decreased in both groups vs preoperative day
Saliva melatonin · first postoperative day
- Significant increase in the Intervention vs Control group
Saliva cortisol
- No statistical difference between the two groups
Factors associated with postoperative delirium (POD)
- Preoperative PSQI and MMSE scores associated with POD
