With the acceleration of population aging, China has entered a stage of "deep aging." According to data from the Seventh National Census of Population released in 2021, the proportion of individuals aged 60 or older is 18.70%, with a total number of 264 million, while the proportion of individuals aged 65 or older is 13.50%, with a total number of approximately 190 million. As the proportion of elderly individuals continues to rise, the number of elderly patients undergoing surgical procedures has also increased significantly. Elderly individuals often suffer from multiple chronic diseases, a decline in physiological reserve function, and a reduced tolerance to anesthesia and surgery, presenting new challenges for anesthesiologists. Moreover, cognitive dysfunction is prevalent among the elderly and increases with age . Cognitive dysfunction before surgery is not only closely related to postoperative complications, delirium, further deterioration of cognitive function, and increased mortality, but also leads to longer hospital stays and higher medical expenses after surgery.Therefore, it is of great significance to timely and accurately identify whether the cognitive function of the elderly has been impaired and to actively implement targeted intervention strategies to maintain the health and prognosis of elderly surgical patients, as well as to control the social medical costs.
