Brain scan study for delirium risk in older diabetic patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a special brain scan (PET/CT) can predict confusion after liver surgery in older adults with type 2 diabetes. It aims to find ways to prevent postoperative delirium.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
