The Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) has been widely recognized as an independently predictive factor for overall survival rate and mortality in various surgeries. However, no studies demonstrated the potential relationship between ACCI and POD. The current study was to explore the correlation between ACCI and POD, and determine the predictive effect of ACCI on POD in the elderly after thoracic and abdominal surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Total 184 patients (\u226560 years) who underwent thoracic and abdominal surgery from 2021.10 to 2022.5 were enrolled in this prospective observational cohort study. ACCI was calculated by weighting comorbidities and age. POD was diagnosed using Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) twice a day in the first 3 days after surgery. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was applied to measure pre-operative and post-operative pain at rest and in motion. All demographic and perioperative data were compared in patients with POD and without POD. ACCI and other variables were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The characteristic curve of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to further evaluate the accuracy of ACCI to predict POD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Post-operative delirium was diagnosed in 36 of 184 patients included in our study. The prevalence of POD in the elderly after thoracic and abdominal surgery was 19.6%. The outcomes by multivariate regression analysis showed the independent risk factors for POD were ACCI (OR: 1.834; 95%CI: 1.434\u20132.344;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001), pre-operative Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores (OR: 0.873; 95%CI: 0.767\u20130.994;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.040), serum albumin (OR: 0.909; 95%CI: 0.826\u20131.000;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.049) and pain scores in the post-operative third day (OR: 2.013; 95%CI: 1.459\u20132.778;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001).
