Delirium after surgery in patients with liver cirrhosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people with liver cirrhosis become confused after upper abdominal surgery. Researchers will use advanced lab tests to find clues, which could help prevent this confusion in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is creating a new test to measure thinking and memory problems in people with liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors find these problems earlier.
This study looks at your liver health before and after surgery to predict the risk of “acute-on-chronic liver failure,” which means a sudden worsening of liver function on top of an existing liver condition. If you qualify, your doctors may use study data to better identify who needs closer monitoring after surgery.
This study looks at confusion or disorientation (delirium) that can happen after heart surgery. It aims to learn more about who might be affected and how to improve recovery.
This study looks at factors that may increase the risk of developing confusion or delirium after heart surgery. If you have had heart surgery before, researchers want to see if they can predict who might become confused afterward, which could help prevent it in the future.
This study is looking for certain substances in the blood that may show up if a person becomes confused or delirious after heart surgery. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can help prevent or treat this confusion.
This study looks at how inflammation during and after surgery might affect thinking and memory in patients with liver cirrhosis. It tests if certain immune responses are linked to brain changes after surgery.
