BACKGROUND: Anesthesia and surgery may increase the risk of dementia in the elderly, but the higher prevalence of dementia in women and other evidence suggest that dementia risk increases in younger women undergoing hysterectomy. In this study, we assessed the risk of dementia after hysterectomy. METHODS: Hysterectomies registered in the National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000 to 2013 were evaluated using a retrospective generational research method. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to assess the effect of age at surgery, anesthesia method, and surgery type on the hazard ratio (HR) for the development of dementia. RESULTS: Among 280 308 patients who underwent hysterectomy, 4753 (1.7%) developed dementia. Age at surgery and anesthesia method were associated with the occurrence of dementia, independent of surgery type. Among patients 30-49 years of age, general anesthesia (GA) was associated with a higher risk of dementia than spinal anesthesia (SA). The HR for GA was 2.678 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.269-5.650) and the risk of dementia increased by 7.4% for every 1-year increase in age (HR = 1.074; 95% CI = 1.048-1.101). In patients >50 years of age, the HR for GA was 1.206 (95% CI = 1.057-1.376), and the risk of dementia increased by 13.0% for every 1-year increase in age (HR = 1.130; 95% CI = 1.126-1.134). CONCLUSION: The risk of dementia in women who underwent hysterectomy was significantly affected by older age at surgery, and the risk might not increase linearly with age, but show instead an S-curve with exponential increase at about 50 years of age. Although less significant, GA was associated with higher risk than SA, and the effect of the anesthesia method was greater in patients <50 years of age. In contrast, the surgical procedure used was not associated to the risk of dementia.
