Could body fat be fueling Post-Surgery brain fog?
NCT ID NCT04907565
Summary
This study aimed to understand why some people experience confusion and memory problems after surgery, a condition known as post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Researchers followed 115 patients having hip or heart surgery to see if inflammation from body fat, especially in people with obesity, is linked to these thinking problems. The goal was to gather knowledge to help prevent this complication in the future.
