Association Between Risk of Stroke and Delirium After Cardiac Surgery and a New Electroencephalogram Index of Interhemispheric Similarity

Neurologic complications after surgery (stroke, delirium) remain a major concern despite advancements in surgical and anesthetic techniques. The authors aimed to evaluate whether a novel index of interhemispheric similarity, the lateral interconnection ratio (LIR), between 2 prefrontal electroencephalogram (EEG) channels could be associated with stroke and delirium following cardiac surgery.
