| Abstract | Background: Dementia is a prevalent neurological condition, yet the relationship between dementia and general anesthesia remains uncertain. The study aimed to explore the association between general anesthesia and dementia using a nationwide population-based database. Methods: The study extracted data from Taiwan's national health insurance, which encompassed the records of one million insured residents. A total of 59,817 patients aged 65 years and above, diagnosed with osteoarthritis between 2002 and 2010, were included. Among these patients, 3277 individuals with an initial diagnosis of dementia between 2004 and 2013 were matched with non-dementia patients based on age, gender, and the date of osteoarthritis diagnosis. Following a 1:2 random matching, the case group included 2171 patients with dementia, while the control group consisted of 4342 patients without dementia. The data was analyzed using conditional and unconditional logistic regressions. Results: No significant differences in the odds of dementia were found between individuals exposed to general and regional anesthesia during hip/knee replacement surgeries (OR = 1.11; 95%CI: 0.73-1.70), after adjusting for age, sex, and co-morbidities. Similarly, there were no significant differences in the odds of dementia based on different durations of anesthesia exposure (General: <2 h: OR = 0.91, 95%CI = 0.43-1.92; 2-4 h: OR = 1.21, 95%CI = 0.82-1.79; >4 h: OR = 0.39, 95%CI = 0.15-1.01; compared to no exposure. Regional: <2 h: OR = 1.18, 95%CI = 0.85-1.62; 2-4 h: OR = 0.9, 95%CI = 0.64-1.27; >4 h: OR = 0.55, 95%CI = 0.15-1.96; compared to no exposure). Likewise, no significant differences were observed in the odds of dementia based on the number of replacement surgeries (twice: OR = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.44-1.23, compared to once). Conclusion: Neither general anesthesia nor regional anesthesia in hip/knee surgery was associated with dementia. Different numbers and durations of anesthesia exposure showed no significant differences in the odds for dementia. |
