Reciprocally, dementia increases the risk of delirium. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration of the dendritic protein neurogranin has been shown to increase in early Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD), likely reflecting synaptic dysfunction and\/or degeneration. Objective: To elucidate the involvement of synaptic dysfunction in delirium pathophysiology, we tested the association between CSF neurogranin concentration and delirium in hip fracture patients with different AD-biomarker profiles, while comparing them to cognitively unimpaired older adults (CUA) and AD patients. Methods: The cohort included hip fracture patients with (n\u200a=\u200a70) and without delirium (n\u200a=\u200a58), CUA undergoing elective surgery (n\u200a=\u200a127), and AD patients (n\u200a=\u200a46). CSF was collected preoperatively and diagnostically in surgery and AD patients respectively. CSF neurogranin concentrations were analyzed in all samples with an in-house ELISA. Delirium was assessed pre-and postoperatively in hip fracture patients by trained investigators using the Confusion Assessment Method. Hip fracture patients were further stratified based on pre-fracture dementia status, delirium subtype, and AD fluid biomarkers. Results: No association was found between delirium and CSF neurogranin concentration (main analysis: delirium versus no delirium, p\u200a=\u200a0.68). Hip fracture patients had lower CSF neurogranin concentration than AD patients (p\u200a=\u200a0.001) and CUA (p\u200a=\u200a0.035) in age-adjusted sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: The findings suggest that delirium is not associated with increased CSF neurogranin concentration in hip fracture patients, possibly due to advanced neurodegenerative disease and age and\/or because synaptic degeneration is not an important pathophysiological process in delirium.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-201341","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,2]],"date-time":"2021-04-02T14:38:53Z","timestamp":1617374333000},"page":"667-677","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Cerebrospinal
