Cognitive outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 91,829 patients

Cognitive impairments, including delirium, are common after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, as described in over three decades of research. Our aim was to pool estimates across the literature for the first-time, relative to time (from pre- to post-CABG) and diagnosis (cognitive impairment, delirium and dementia).
