Intranasal Insulin Diminishes Postoperative Delirium and Elevated Osteocalcin and Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Older Patients Undergoing Joint Replacement: A Randomized, Do... by Yang M, Zhou L, Long G, Liu X, Ouyang W, Xie C, He X

“…The primary objective was to determine the incidence and severity of POD within 5 days after surgery, estimated using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) and the Delirium Rating Scale (DRS)-98. The secondary objective was insulin sensitivity, which was assessed using the homeostasis model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and biomarkers, including total osteocalcin (tOC), uncarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).Main Results: Compared to placebo, intranasal insulin significantly reduced the incidence of delirium within 5 days after surgery (8 [8.33%] vs 23 [23.23%], P = 0.004, odds ratio [OR] = 3.33 [95% CI 1.41– 7.88]) and the severity of delirium (P< 0.001). …”
