Joint association of postoperative visual acuity status and baseline loneliness with cognitive impairment after cataract surgery in older adults: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract

Background Evidence on the joint relationship of postoperative visual acuity and loneliness with cognition after cataract surgery remains limited. This study examined whether postoperative visual acuity status and loneliness were jointly associated with cognitive impairment in older patients with age-related cataract.
