Women are prone to neurological complications after cardiac surgery. We have previously reported that treatment perioperatively with the neuroprotectant steroid 17beta-estradiol did not improve neurocognitive end-points 4 to 6 wk after surgery for elderly women. In this study, we evaluated the influence of early postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction on quality of life in postmenopausal women undergoing cardiac surgery and whether it is impacted by perioperative 17beta-estradiol treatment.
