Objective:To evaluate the relationship between postoperative delirium(POD) and preoperative frailty in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery.Methods:Two hundred and twenty patients of both sexes, aged ≥65 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ-Ⅳ, undergoing elective posterior lumbar decompression, bone grafting and internal fixation under general anesthesia, were selected. Frailty was measured using the FRAIL (fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight) scale on 1 day before surgery. POD was assessed twice a day within 3 days by Confusion Assessment Method. Patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group according to whether POD occurred within 3 days after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for POD in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery, and the value of preoperative frailty in predicting POD was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 190 patients were finally enrolled, among which 55 patients presented with frailty before surgery, and the incidence was 29.0%. Forty-six patients developed POD, and the incidence was 24.2%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that aging ( OR=1.15, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.03-1.29, P=0.017), preoperative frailty ( OR=2.35, 95% CI 1.24-4.43, P=0.009), increase in surgical segments ( OR=4.14, 95% CI 1.71-10.05, P=0.002) and increase in postoperative 24-h pain VAS score ( OR=1.38, 95% CI 1.07-1.78, P=0.013) were independent risk factors for POD in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of preoperative frailty in predicting POD was 0.702 (95% CI 0.608-0.796, P<0.001). Conclusions:Preoperative frailty is an independent risk factor for POD in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery. Preoperative frailty can predict the occurrence of POD in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery to some extent.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.Methods Clinical features and outcomes of 46 proven cases of chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis admitted in Huashan Hospital,Fudan University from January 2009 to December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.Results Of the 46 patients enrolled,left sphenoid sinus,ethmoid sinus and maxillary sinus were affected in 24,23 and 20 cases,respectively,while right maxillary sinus,ethmoid sinus and sphenoid sinus were affected in 18,16 and 15 eases,respectively.Left and right frontal sinus were affected in 9 and 6 cases,respectively.The central nervous system and orbit were the most commonly affected sites in external nasal involvements,noted in 22 cases respectively.Left sphenoid (17 cases) and ethmoid sinus (15 cases) involvements were most common in central nervous system affected patients.Left sphenoid (14 cases) and ethmoid sinus (13 cases) involvements were most common in orbit affected patients.Aspergillus species were the primary pathogens observed in 42 eases.Zygomycete,candida and dark filamentous fungus were observed in two,one and one case,respectively.Pathologically,37 of the cases were chronic nongranulomatous type and the left 9 were chronic granulomatous type who were all immunocompetent hosts.The initial symptoms usually included headache,dizziness and nasal discomforts including nasal obstruction and purulent secretion.The chief complaints usually included headache,dizziness,and visual disturbances including blurred vision,vision loss or even blindness.Antifungal treatment combined with surgical interventions for removal or drainage focus lesions achieved significant effect,and 42 patients were cured.Conclusions Chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis should be taken into consideration in the presence of nasal discomforts or nonspecific symptoms such as headache and dizziness.The possibility of chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis should be cautious after the emergence of vision abnormalities.
