Preclinical studies have indicated that anaesthesia is an independent risk factor for dementia, but the clinical associations between dementia and different types of general anaesthesia or regional anaesthesia remain unclear.

 We conducted a population-based cohort study using propensity-score matching to compare dementia incidence in patients included in the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database who received various anaesthetic types for hip fracture surgery.

Patients aged ≥65 yr who received elective hip fracture surgery from 2002 to 2019 were divided into three groups receiving either inhalational anaesthesia (GA), total intravenous anaesthesia–general anaesthesia (TIVA-GA), or regional anaesthesia (RA), and matched in a 1:1 ratio.

The incidence rates of dementia were then determined.
