This study looks at how your thinking and memory are affected after surgery, and how you recover overall. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery for older adults after surgery.
This study looks at how surgery and anesthesia affect memory and thinking in older adults who already have mild memory problems. It compares patients having elective non-cardiac surgery with a similar group who are not having surgery, to see if the surgery itself causes more confusion or memory decline.
This study looks at how well older adults think and remember before and after surgery to see if any changes are linked to complications after surgery. It may help doctors understand and reduce post-surgery confusion or memory problems.
This study looks at why some older adults have confusion or memory changes after spine surgery. It aims to find patterns that could help prevent these problems.
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 short thinking and memory quiz (called MoCA Blind) to see if it can spot confusion or memory problems that may happen after eye surgery. If you have a corneal condition and are having eye surgery, this might help doctors better detect and manage these thinking changes.
