We included systematic reviews and meta\u2010analyses of randomised trials evaluating pharmacological and non\u2010pharmacological interventions for the prevention of postoperative neurocognitive complications in adult surgical populations. Certainty of evidence for each intervention was assessed using the GRADE framework.

Dexmedetomidine, cerebral monitoring, acupuncture, sleep interventions, steroids, antipsychotics, peripheral nerve blocks, esketamine and remimazolam were associated with reductions in postoperative neurocognitive complications. Subgroup analyses indicated that these interventions also showed potential benefits across non\u2010cardiac, orthopaedic and cardiac surgery. However, the overall certainty of evidence for all these interventions was predominantly very low.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A number of peri\u2010operative interventions are associated with a reduction in postoperative neurocognitive complications but the certainty of evidence supporting these interventions to prevent is very low.
