However, the association between various analgesic regimens and the onset of postoperative delirium in ICU patients following cardiac surgery remains poorly understood. The present study employs a target trial emulation (TTE) framework to examine the effects of early postoperative pain management on the incidence of delirium in patients immediately admitted to the ICU after cardiac surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patients and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Study participants were selected from the MIMIC\u2010IV version 3.1 database, comprising 5356 adult patients who were admitted for the first time and underwent cardiac surgery, followed by immediate transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU).

transferred (within 24 h post\u2010surgery) to the intensive care unit postoperatively, in comparison with the morphine group, patients receiving fentanyl exhibited a significantly elevated risk of delirium within seven days postoperatively (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.69; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.41\u20131.95) and demonstrated an earlier onset of delirium.<\/jats:p>\n
