Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward perioperative neurocognitive disorders among healthcare workers in Shandong, China: a cross-sectional study

"This study provides one of the first detailed assessments of healthcare workers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) in China.
