Popis: BackgroundThis randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effects of butorphanol and sufentanil on early post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and systemic inflammation in older surgical patients.MethodsPatients (aged 65 years or above) undergoing surgeries with general anesthesia were randomized to either the butorphanol group (40 μg/kg during anesthesia induction) or the sufentanil group (0.4 μg/kg). Cognitive function changes during the perioperative period were assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale up to 3 days after surgery. POCD was defined as a Z-score or composite Z-score greater than 1.96 for both MMSE and MoCA scores. Circulating inflammatory factors, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin 10 (IL-10), were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.ResultsThe study included 114 patients (median age: 71 years, 57.7% male). Compared to sufentanil, butorphanol significantly reduced the incidence of POCD on the first (11.5% versus 32.7%, p = 0.017) and third day (3.8% versus 15.4%, p = 0.046) after surgery. Additionally, patients receiving butorphanol had significantly lower circulating levels of TNF-α and IL-1β at the time of discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit and on the first and third day after surgery (p
