Popis: Abstract Background Prior meta-analyses have established the potential of intravenous ketamine in safeguarding against neurocognitive impairment, but the efficacy of intravenous esketamine for the prevention of perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) remains uncertain. The primary aim of this meta-analysis was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of esketamine on PND in adult surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia. Methods We searched several electronic databases and clinical trial registries to find relevant trials. Randomized controlled trials of perioperative use of esketamine adjuvant were included in the analysis. The main outcome measured was the risk of postoperative delirium(POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Secondary outcomes included the assessment of postoperative cognitive status, pain scores (VAS/NRS), remifentanil consumption and the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Results Thirteen studies encompassing procedures such as abdominal, thoracoscopic lung, gastrointestinal, laparoscopic gynecological, spinal surgery, and modified radical mastectomy, were included in the analysis. A cohort comprising 1068 adult patients underwent general anesthesia, with 584 patients assigned to the esketamine group and 484 patients designated to the placebo group. The administration of general anesthesia was augmented by intravenous infusion of esketamine, and a comparative analysis was conducted in relation to alternative pharmacological interventions or a placebo. The application of esketamine during the perioperative period was observed to decrease the risk of POD ( RR 0.46; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.66, p
