Figure 2

Comparison of Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) scores in patients given desflurane (n = 37) or sevoflurane (n = 47) anesthesia, numbers indicate median and 95% confidence interval. The MMSE was lower one hour after anesthesia for both groups (p < 0.001 Wilcoxon matched pairs). The MMSE scores were equal to baseline at 6 and 24 hours after the end of anesthesia, and there were no intergroup differences in MMSE scores at any measurement time (all p > 0.05, Friedman with Dunn’s multiple corrections test).
