Smac/DIABLO can predict postoperative delirium in elderly patients after cardiac surgery : A prospective nested case-control study

Background：Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common
complication following cardiac surgery. Mitochondrial injury,
demonstrated by excessively activated oxidative stress and regulating
cell apoptosis, has been reported to contribute to POD.
[Mitophagy](https://www.geenmedical.com/article?id=34752757&type=true),
apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis had been known to play a critical
role in degenerative nervous system diseases. However, the serum change
of Smac/DIABLO in POD induced by cardiac surgery/anesthesia is still
undetermined. We designed the study to determine the expression level of
SMAC/DIABLO in POD patients. Methods：A nested case-control
study was performed, including 21 POD patients and a matched group of 63
non-POD controls.
