Data Sheet 1_Factors associated with postoperative delirium in patients undergoing oral an

A meta-analysis of seven observational studies involving 2,398 patients, conducted by Yifan Lin and last updated in April 2026. It synthesizes evidence on factors associated with postoperative delirium in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery. The analysis was performed using Stata 15 software and a random-effects model.

Use Cases

• Identifying patient risk profiles for postoperative delirium based on demographic and behavioral factors mentioned in the description.
• Informing preoperative screening protocols using the synthesized odds ratios for factors like age, sex, and substance use.
• Designing observational studies on surgical outcomes by referencing the methodological approach and included risk factors.

Strengths

• Synthesizes data from 2,398 patients across seven studies.
• Reports specific odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for five identified factors.
• Includes a systematic review registration with PROSPERO (CRD420251267779).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 344.5 KB DOCX document; its internal structure and any tabular data require manual inspection after download.
• Evidence is derived predominantly from major oral cancer and reconstructive surgery populations, limiting generalizability to all OMFS procedures.
• All included studies were observational, meaning findings indicate associations rather than causal risk factors.
