Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is highly prevalent in elderly patients who received surgery. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been shown to be an independent predictor of many diseases associated with inflammation, but the relationship between the SII and POCD is unknown. We aimed to investigate the association between POCD and SII levels to examine the potential of SII in predicting POCD in elderly patients.
