Abstract
This retrospective study reviews and investigates type of dementia, related to co morbidity, symptoms of dementia, previus anaesthesia/surgery, intraoperative events and postoperative cognitive symptoms.

Data was collected from patient journals.

Compared to population, heredity for dementia, heart insufficiency, hypertension, depression and B12- deficiency was more frequent in the patients.

Compared to population, heredity for dementia, heart insufficiency, hypertension, depression and B12- deficiency was more frequent in the patients. B12- deficiency was common in vascular dementias and "burn-out syndrome" in early-onset AD. Twenty-four patients had previous anaesthesia, a subgroup of 8 patients complained of cognitive dysfunction related to surgery. Affect instability was higher in this group compared to non-surgery patients. There were few indications of adverse anaesthesia/surgery related events. (Less)
