Proteins in blood to predict confusion after surgery in older diabetics
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at proteins in your blood (TGF-β and INS-PI3K-AKT) to see if they can predict confusion after surgery (postoperative delirium) in older adults with diabetes. It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You have had diabetes for at least 2 years with an HbA1c of 6.5% or higher, or you do not have diabetes and have normal blood sugar
- Your overall health before surgery (ASA rating) is Class I, II, or III
- You are having a limited surgery on your chest or abdomen for a tumor

This study looks at how blood sugar levels change during surgery and whether that relates to confusion after surgery (delirium). It may help doctors identify who is at risk and provide better care.
This study looks at how the brain's use of sugar (glucose) relates to confusion after surgery in older diabetic patients having liver surgery. It may help doctors predict and prevent post-surgery confusion.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test score can predict confusion after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to help doctors identify who might need extra care after surgery.
This study looks at older patients (65 and older) who have had surgery and anesthesia. It aims to find who is at risk for confusion (delirium) and memory problems afterward. The goal is to help doctors prevent these issues.
This study looks at whether a protein called GDNF in the blood can help predict if a child will become confused or have other brain problems after surgery. It aims to improve how we care for children during and after their operation.
This trial looks at how well the brain controls its own blood flow during non-cardiac surgeries. It aims to see if problems with this regulation are linked to confusion after surgery (delirium).
