RESUMO
Postoperative delirium (POD) remains a common, dangerous and resource-consuming adverse event but is often preventable. The whole peri-operative team can play a key role in its management. This update to the 2017 ESAIC Guideline on the prevention of POD is evidence-based and consensus-based and considers the literature between 01 April 2015, and 28 February 2022. The search terms of the broad literature search were identical to those used in the first version of the guideline published in 2017. POD was defined in accordance with the DSM-5 criteria. POD had to be measured with a validated POD screening tool, at least once per day for at least 3 days starting in the recovery room or postanaesthesia care unit on the day of surgery or, at latest, on postoperative day 1. Recent literature confirmed the pathogenic role of surgery-induced inflammation, and this concept reinforces the positive role of multicomponent strategies aimed to reduce the surgical stress response. Although some putative precipitating risk factors are not modifiable (length of surgery, surgical site), others (such as depth of anaesthesia, appropriate analgesia and haemodynamic stability) are under the control of the anaesthesiologists. Multicomponent preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative preventive measures showed potential to reduce the incidence and duration of POD, confirming the pivotal role of a comprehensive and team-based approach to improve patients' clinical and functional status.

BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews to date have neglected to exclusively include studies using a validated diagnostic scale for postoperative delirium and monitoring patients for more than 24 h. Evidence on current risk factors is evolving with significantly heterogeneous study designs, inconsistent reporting of results, and a lack of adjustment for bias. METHODS: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify risk factors for postoperative delirium in an adult patient population. Study designs suitable for this review included full-text articles, RCTs, observational studies, cohort studies, and case-control studies. Extracted variables from the 169 (7.4%) selected studies were included in qualitative synthesis, quantitative synthesis, and a postoperative delirium checklist. The 16 variables included in the checklist were selected based on consistency, direction of effect, number of studies, and clinical utility as a reference for future studies. RESULTS: A total of 576 variables were extracted, but only six were eligible for meta-analysis. Age (mean difference [MD]=4.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.93-6.94; P<0.001), American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status >2 (odds ratio [OR]=2.27; 95% CI, 1.47-3.52; P<0.001), Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥2 (OR=1.9; 95% CI, 1.11-3.25; P=0.0202), and Mini-Mental State Examination (MD=-1.94; 95% CI, -3.6 to -0.27; P=0.0224) were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors can assist in clinical decision-making and identification of high-risk patients. Literature analysis identified inconsistent methodology, leading to challenges in interpretation. A standardised format and evidence-based approach should guide future studies.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of an interactive training program on the learning curve of radiology residents for bladder MRI interpretation using the VI-RADS score. METHODS: Three radiology residents with minimal experience in bladder MRI served as readers. They blindly evaluated 200 studies divided into 4 subsets of 50 cases over a 3-month period. After 2 months, the first subset was reassessed, resulting in a total of 250 evaluations. An interactive training program was provided and included educational lessons and case-based practice. The learning curve was constructed by plotting mean agreement as the ratio of correct evaluations per batch. Inter-reader agreement and diagnostic performance analysis were performed with kappa statistics and ROC analysis. RESULTS: As for the VI-RADS scoring agreement, the kappa differences between pre-training and post-training evaluation of the same group of cases were 0.555 to 0.852 for reader 1, 0.522 to 0.695 for reader 2, and 0.481 to 0.794 for reader 3. Using VI-RADS ≥ 3 as cut-off for muscle invasion, sensitivity ranged from 84 to 89% and specificity from 91 to 94%, while the AUCs from 0.89 (95% CI:0.84, 0.94) to 0.90 (95% CI:0.86, 0.95). Mean evaluation time decreased from 5.21 ± 1.12 to 3.52 ± 0.69 min in subsets 1 and 5. Mean grade of confidence improved from 3.31 ± 0.93 to 4.21 ± 0.69, in subsets 1 and 5. CONCLUSION: An interactive dedicated education program on bladder MRI and the VI-RADS score led to a significant increase in readers' diagnostic performance over time, with a general improvement observed after 100-150 cases. KEY POINTS: ⢠After the first educational lesson and 100 cases were interpreted, the concordance on VI-RADS scoring between the residents and the experienced radiologist was significantly higher. ⢠An increase in the grade of confidence was experienced after 100 cases. ⢠We found a decrease in the evaluation time after 150 cases.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of an artificial intelligence (AI) software and quantitative ADC (qADC) on the inter-reader agreement, diagnostic performance, and reporting times of prostate biparametric MRI (bpMRI) for experienced and inexperienced readers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 170 multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of patients with suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa) were retrospectively reviewed by one experienced and one inexperienced reader three times, following a wash-out period. First, only the bpMRI sequences, including T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, were used. Then, bpMRI and quantitative ADC values were used. Lastly, bpMRI and the AI software were used. Inter-reader agreement between the two readers and between each reader and the mpMRI original reports was calculated. Detection rates and reporting times were calculated for each group. RESULTS: Inter-reader agreement with respect to mpMRI was moderate for bpMRI, Quantib, and qADC for both the inexperienced (weighted k of 0.42, 0.45, and 0.41, respectively) and the experienced radiologists (weighted k of 0.44, 0.46, and 0.42, respectively). Detection rate of PCa was similar between the inexperienced (0.24, 0.26, and 0.23) and the experienced reader (0.26, 0.27 and 0.27), for bpMRI, Quantib, and qADC, respectively. Reporting times were lower for Quantib (8.23, 7.11, and 9.87 min for the inexperienced reader and 5.62, 5.07, and 6.21 min for the experienced reader, for bpMRI, Quantib, and qADC, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: AI and qADC did not have a significant impact on the diagnostic performance of both readers. The use of Quantib was associated with lower reporting times.

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to determine the impact of using a semi-automatic commercially available AI-assisted software (Quantib® Prostate) on inter-reader agreement in PI-RADS scoring at different PI-QUAL ratings and grades of reader confidence and on reporting times among novice readers in multiparametric prostate MRI. METHODS: A prospective observational study, with a final cohort of 200 patients undergoing mpMRI scans, was performed at our institution. An expert fellowship-trained urogenital radiologist interpreted all 200 scans based on PI-RADS v2.1. The scans were divided into four equal batches of 50 patients. Four independent readers evaluated each batch with and without the use of AI-assisted software, blinded to expert and individual reports. Dedicated training sessions were held before and after each batch. Image quality rated according to PI-QUAL and reporting times were recorded. Readers' confidence was also evaluated. A final evaluation of the first batch was conducted at the end of the study to assess for any changes in performance. RESULTS: The overall kappa coefficient differences in PI-RADS scoring agreement without and with Quantib® were 0.673 to 0.736 for Reader 1, 0.628 to 0.483 for Reader 2, 0.603 to 0.292 for Reader 3 and 0.586 to 0.613 for Reader 4. Using PI-RADS ≥ 4 as cut-off for biopsy, the AUCs with AI ranged from 0.799 (95 % CI: 0.743, 0.856) to 0.820 (95 % CI: 0.765, 0.874). Inter-reader agreements at different PI-QUAL scores were higher with the use of Quantib, particularly for readers 1 and 4, with Kappa coefficient values showing moderate to slight agreement. CONCLUSION: Quantib® Prostate could potentially be useful in improving inter-reader agreement among less experienced to completely novice readers if used as a supplement to PACS.
