Authors' conclusion

Personalised intraoperative blood pressure management maintaining preoperative baseline MAP neither reduced the incidence of the composite primary outcome neurocognitive disorders between postoperative days 3 and 7 nor the incidences of the components of the composite primary outcome-delayed neurocognitive recovery and delirium-compared to routine blood pressure management in patients having major noncardiac surgery.
