Input (English): Question: Does chronic exposure to nicotine prevent neurocognitive decline after cardiac surgery?
Answer: This study confirmed previous findings that age, baseline cognitive function, years of education, and impaired left ventricular function are independent predictors of neurocognitive decline at 6 weeks after CABG surgery. Smoking is neither preventive nor causative of cognitive decline after CABG surgery.
