Development of a deep learning-based prediction model for postoperative delirium using intraoperative electroencephalogram in adults
This study introduces DELPHI-EEG, a novel deep learning model leveraging intraoperative EEG waveforms, age, and sex to predict postoperative delirium (POD) in adults. The model significantly outperforms traditional logistic regression and previous machine learning approaches, demonstrating superior discriminability and potential for real-time risk stratification in surgical settings.
Quantifiable Impact on Patient Care
The DELPHI-EEG model represents a significant advancement in early POD prediction, offering enhanced accuracy critical for timely interventions and improved patient outcomes in post-surgical recovery.

F1-score Reduction when Alpha Band Power is Removed
The model identified that attenuated alpha power, along with increased delta and theta power, is a key predictor of POD. Ablation studies confirm alpha band's critical role, highlighting the model's ability to discern neurophysiological correlates of delirium beyond traditional markers like burst suppression. This aligns with neurophysiological understanding of thalamo-cortical connectivity impairments in POD.
