We collected studies about risk factors for PND after TAAD was published from inception to December 2021. Two authors independently assessed the quality of the studies, and a meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 Software.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Results</strong>: A total of 20 studies involved 11382 cases, and among them, 1321 patients suffered PND, including 34 predictive risk factors. The meta-analysis showed that age (OR=1.11, 95% CI (1.06, 1.16), <em>P</em> &lt; 0.0001), preoperative PND (OR=2.95, 95% CI (2.14, 4.07), <em>P</em> &lt; 0.00001), retrograde tear in the ascending aorta (OR=6.67, 95% CI (3.23, 13.79), <em>P</em> &lt; 0.00001) were independent risk factors for PND after TAAD surgery.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Current evidence shows that age, preoperative PND, retrograde tearing in the ascending aorta are risk factors for PND after TAAD. These factors can be used to identify high-risk patients, providing guidance for medical staff to develop perioperative preventive strategies to reduce the incidence of PND. The results should be validated by higher-quality studies.</span></p> ER -
