Key Words Acetylcholinesterase; Butyrylcholinesterase; Activity; Postoperative delirium; Meta-analysis
Core Tip This meta-analysis synthesizes evidence from 13 studies involving 2730 surgical patients to assess the association between preoperative cholinesterase activity and postoperative delirium (POD). We found that lower preoperative butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity was significantly associated with increased POD risk, whereas acetylcholinesterase activity showed no consistent association. These findings suggest that serum BuChE may serve as a simple, accessible biomarker for POD risk stratification. Our study provides the most comprehensive evidence to date linking peripheral cholinergic dysfunction to POD and highlights BuChE as a potential target for early identification and intervention.
