About
Hae Won Jeong is a clinical researcher whose work centers on perioperative cognitive outcomes in elderly surgical patients, with a particular focus on the role of cerebral venous hemodynamics. In her most-cited study, she investigated the prevalence and impact of internal jugular valve incompetence on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. This work, published in 2016 and garnering 13 citations, highlighted a novel physiological risk factor—venous reflux from the jugular valve—that may compromise cerebral perfusion and contribute to cognitive decline after surgery. By linking a common vascular anomaly to a significant clinical problem, Jeong’s research has helped refine risk stratification for POCD, offering insights that could guide preoperative assessment and anesthetic management. Her contributions are particularly relevant to the growing field of geriatric perioperative care, where preserving cognitive function is a major priority. Though her citation count is modest, the clinical relevance of her findings has made her work a reference point for subsequent studies on jugular valve function and brain health in surgical settings.
