Depression Predicts Delirium After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Independent of Cognitive Impairment and Cerebrovascular Disease: An Analysis of the Neuropsychiatric Outcomes After Heart Surgery Study.

Even mild depression and cognitive impairment before CABG deserve recognition for their effect on post-CABG cognitive health.
