Intranasal insulin has shown promising results in preventing postoperative delirium and protecting cognitive function. However, its use has not been standardised and is not part of treatment protocols. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of intranasal insulin in reducing postoperative delirium.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to October 2025 for randomised controlled trials investigating intranasal insulin for postoperative delirium prevention in patients undergoing surgery.
