The patients were preoperatively assessed for American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) risk by an anesthetist and age, sex and comorbidities were recorded. The Mini-cog test was applied as a cognitive screening test by the anesthesiologist in the preoperative period and the test score was recorded. Three-word memory test, clock drawing, and visual function test was performed to evaluate the patient's cognitive functions. In this test, patients were asked to memorize three words such as umbrella, sunshine, and chair at the beginning of the test.
