SF-36 scores predict postoperative delirium after surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy

Abstract

Some of the SF-36 scores were significantly lower in patients with postoperative delirium than in those without. In particular, the general health perception score was independently correlated with postoperative delirium. SF-36 scores could help identify patients at high risk for postoperative delirium and aid in the development of prevention strategies.
