Among others, the disruption of the blood\u2013brain barrier results from the release of natriuretic peptides during surgery. Furthermore, natriuretic peptides increase the effect of dopamine agonists, which is a key element in the pathomechanism of delirium. The primary endpoint of this study was the adjusted mean difference in natriuretic peptide concentration before surgery between patients with and without delirium. The secondary endpoints were the differences in cognitive performance and quality of life, and physical performance. Methods: Single center observational study. Setting in the Cardiac surgery and intensive care at a German tertiary medical center. Eighty patients for elective cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass for valve replacement or coronary artery bypass grafting. Preoperative NT-pro C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) was determined. After surgery, delirium was assessed five times daily using the confusion assessment method for intensive care until 72 h after surgery and before hospital discharge. Data on quality of life and physical performance were also collected. Results: Overall, 28\/80 (35%) patients developed delirium. Patients with delirium showed an increased concentration of NT-proCNP preoperatively (p = 0.016) compared to those who did not experience delirium. Patients with delirium during hospitalization reported deterioration in their physical role function (p = 0.036), vitality (p = 0.004), and social function (p = 0.008) before surgery. Conclusions: Increased NT-proCNP before surgery is associated with the occurrence of delirium. A relevant reduction in cognitive and physical performance and quality of life may be a new risk factor for delirium.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14051533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,25]],"date-time":"2025-02-25T06:13:18Z","timestamp":1740463998000},"page":"1533","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Natriuretic Peptides as a Predictor for Delirium After Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Cyril","family":"Huisinga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Struck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorenz","family":"Mihatsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technical University of Munich, TUM School of Medicine and Health, Children\u2019s Hospital, 80803 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"Heyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Hagl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac Surgery, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernhard","family":"Zwissler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7281-2137","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vera","family":"von Dossow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Anesthesiology, Heart and Diabetes Center NRW, Ruhr University of Bochum, 44801 Bad Oeynhausen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3987-6272","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Saller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"234","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1257469","article-title":"World population stabilization unlikely this century","volume":"346","author":"Gerland","year":"2014","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"496","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000003514","article-title":"Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction and Noncardiac Surgery","volume":"127","author":"Evered","year":"2018","journal-title":"Anesth.
