(A) Delirium Rating Scale-98 (DRS) is compared with Lempel–Ziv complexity (LZC) at different power spectral bands. For both DRS and LZC, the pre- to postoperative difference are Spearman correlated (channel Oz, N = 88 patients). (B) LZC compared by delirium diagnosis. LZC of nondelirious (ND) and delirious (D) group are compared with 2-sided Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test (channel Oz, NND = 59, ND = 30). All p-values are uncorrected for false discovery rate. *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001. Theta (4–8 Hz), alpha (8–12 Hz), and hi-alpha (10–14 Hz).
