Surgical time exceeding 4 h showed a trend toward higher risk (OR = 1.87, 95% CI: 0.94–3.75, P = 0.076), while anesthesia time greater than 4 h was significantly associated with elevated risk (OR = 2.97, 95% CI: 1.44–6.12, P = 0.003).

Specifically, age was positively correlated with POD at 3 days (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01–1.12, P = 0.024); although middle school education did not reach statistical significance, a trend toward a reduced risk of POD at 3 days was observed (OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.35–1.17, P = 0.144).
