Postoperative cognitive change after cardiac surgery predicts long‐term cognitive outcome

Objectives Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common consequence of coronary artery bypass grafting. However, domain‐specific associations between postoperative changes and long‐term performance are poorly known. The aim of this study was to investigate whether domain‐specific cognitive changes after cardiac surgery predict long‐term cognitive outcome.
