Stress blood sugar and confusion after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a spike in blood sugar during surgery (stress hyperglycemia) is linked to confusion after surgery. Understanding this link could help doctors find patients at risk for confusion and help prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had surgery that did not involve the brain, heart, or major blood vessels.
- Your surgery lasted longer than 60 minutes and was done in an operating room.

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.
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 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).
This study examines how anxiety before major joint surgery (hip or knee) affects confusion and delirium after surgery in adults 65 and older. Understanding this connection may help doctors better manage patients' emotional and mental health around 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 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.
