Table 4.

Crude and adjusted odds ratios for the association between the area under the curve of intraoperative hypotension during cardiac surgery and occurrence of postoperative delirium. *Results were adjusted for EuroSCORE, duration of surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass, total intraoperative fluid, cumulative duration of vasopressors and inotropes. # Estimates per 1000 mm Hg2 min2 AUC2 increase of intraoperative hypotension depth and/or duration. Considered statistically significant when P<0.01 and multiple testing was taken into account. Interquartile ranges: MAP<60 mm Hg (774–1861 mm Hg min); MAP<50 mm Hg (114–448 mm Hg min); Decrease MAP decrease >30% relative to baseline (763–3653 mm Hg min); Decrease MAP decrease >40% relative to baseline (183–1570 mm Hg min). OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; MAP, mean arterial pressure
