Sarcopenia is a risk factor for postoperative delirium in geriatric hip fracture patients: a retrospective study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Various factors contribute to postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgeries. Sarcopenia was defined as the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength associated with aging. The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of POD and sarcopenia in geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgeries and to investigate the correlation between preoperative sarcopenia and POD. Methods: After applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, the information of 234 patients were retrospectively collected. POD was screened for with 4A's Test and diagnosed with DSM-5 criteria. The incidences of POD and sarcopenia were calculated. The demographic and perioperative features as well as comorbidities of delirious and non-delirious patients were analyzed and the risk factors analysis for POD in elderly hip fracture patients were conducted through univariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis. Results: 48.7% patients were diagnosed of POD, 78.95% of which were females. The average age of delirious and non-delirious patients were 84.75 years and 80.63 years, respectively. The incidence of sarcopenia was 41.02% for all the included patients with 60.53% for delirious patients and 20.55% for non-delirious patients. Results of univariate analysis showed that sarcopenia (OR:5.281, 95%CI 2.988-9.337, Conclusion: The incidences of POD and sarcopenia in geriatric hip fracture patients are high. Sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for POD in geriatric hip fracture patients.
