Study program to prevent postoperative delirium in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study adds an extra scientific program to help prevent confusion (“delirium”) after surgery in older adults. If you were already planned to join the main prevention program, this may help improve how care is delivered and how outcomes are measured.
