Preoperative Stress and Confusion After Orthopedic Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
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.
