Delirium risk prediction for heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks if a new questionnaire can predict delirium (confusion or disorientation after surgery) in adults having planned heart valve or bypass surgery. The goal is to help identify patients at higher risk so they can receive extra support during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for elective heart valve or bypass surgery using a heart-lung machine
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 48 hours after surgery
- You speak fluent German
- Your surgery is not an emergency
- You have not been readmitted to the ICU after a previous stay

This study uses brain monitoring and artificial intelligence to predict whether patients might experience confusion (delirium) after heart valve surgery. This could help doctors provide better care and prevent this common complication.
This study uses special monitors to watch for confusion or disorientation (called delirium) after heart surgery. The goal is to detect it early and help you recover more smoothly.
This study uses a short, self-answered thinking test before elective heart surgery to help predict who may develop confusion afterward. The goal is to improve early identification and care planning for patients 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 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.
This study looks at how often older adults develop sudden confusion (delirium) after non-heart operations under general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and improve care after surgery.
