Concentration of interleukin (IL)-6 between the NPOD and POD groups.

Notes: There were no significant differences in the IL-6 levels between the two groups prior to surgery (T0) (P=0.60). At the end of surgery (T1) and 12 h after surgery (T2), the IL-6 levels were higher in the POD than that in NPOD group (P<0.01). At T1 and T2, the levels of IL-6 in each group were higher than those in the corresponding group at T0 (P<0.05).

Abbreviations: NPOD, no POD; POD, postoperative delirium; h, hours.
