Delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR; neurocognitive disorder up to 30 days postoperative) and postoperative neurocognitive disorders (POCD; neurocognitive disorder 1-12 months postoperative) occur frequently after surgery, with diabetes mellitus (DM) suggested to contribute to this. This was a single-center prospective cohort study. The main aim of this study was to investigate the role of DM and preoperative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in the development of POCDs after noncardiac surgery.
