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 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.
