Abstract:

Objective To explore the influencing factors for cognitive dysfunction after intracranial aneurysm intervention based on the propensity score matching (PSM) method. Methods The clinical data of 392 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with intervention surgery in Anyang District Hospital, Puyang City from January 2016 to November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into the cognitive dysfunction group (n=58) and non-cognitive dysfunction group (n=334) based on the occurrence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Gender, age and education level of patients in the two groups were matched by using the PSM method at a 1∶1 ratio. The clinical data of the two groups of patients before and after PSM were compared. The influencing factors for cognitive dysfunction after intracranial aneurysm intervention surgery was explored by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results After PSM at a 1∶1 ratio, a total of 52 pairs of patients were successfully matched. After matching, there were no significant differences in the gender, age, education level, smoking history and drinking history between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). After matching, the proportions of Hunt-Hess grade Ⅲ on admission, computed tomography (CT) Fisher grade≥Ⅲ on admission, world federation of neurosurgical societies (WFNS) grade≥Ⅲ on admission, time from admission to surgery ≥3 d, longest diameter of aneurysm>10 mm, aneurysm rupture, surgery time>60 min and postoperative cerebral ischemia in the cognitive dysfunction group were significantly higher than those of the non-cognitive dysfunction group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Hunt-Hess grade Ⅲ at admission, CT Fisher grade≥Ⅲ on admission, WFNS grade≥Ⅲ on admission, aneurysm rupture, surgery time>60 min and postoperative cerebral ischemia were all risk factors for cognitive dysfunction after intracranial aneurysm intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion Based on the PSM method, Hunt-Hess grade on admission, CT Fisher grade on admission, WFNS grade on admission, aneurysm rupture, surgery time and postoperative cerebral ischemia are all influencing factors for cognitive dysfunction after intracranial aneurysm intervention.
