Commentary: Are we really choosing between less delirium or better quality of life when comparing transcatheter aortic valve implantation with surgical aortic valve replacement?

[摘要] In the present manuscript entitled “Postoperative Delirium and Quality of Life After Transcatheter and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement: A Prospective Observational Study,” Hoogma and colleagues1 provide a rare example of a prospective cohort study of intervention for aortic stenosis in which all subjects underwent daily screening for postoperative delirium (POD) using the 3-minute Diagnostic Confusion Assessment Method (ie, 3D-CAM) and Confusion Assessment Method–Intensive Care Unit (ie, CAM-ICU).
