This study looks at whether older adults who get a hip replacement may experience confusion after surgery. It aims to find factors that might help prevent or reduce this confusion.
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 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 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 tests a new way to predict delirium (sudden confusion) after heart surgery by using brain monitoring. It may help doctors detect early warning signs so they can act faster.
This study tests whether a special nursing care plan can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults who are frail. If you are 65 or older, having planned surgery, and generally healthy enough, this trial may be an option.
