ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding the health challenges elderly patients face during and after surgery. Researchers want to create a database that collects information about complications that may affect various body systems, like the brain, heart, kidneys, and lungs, as well as issues like infections and pain. By gathering this information, they hope to identify how often these complications happen and what might increase the risk for older patients. They also aim to develop tools that can help predict and prevent these problems in the future.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 65 years old and scheduled for a surgery that requires an overnight hospital stay. However, those with severe cognitive impairments, significant communication difficulties, or certain types of surgeries (like heart or brain surgery) will not be eligible. Participants can expect to contribute valuable information that could improve the safety and care of elderly surgical patients. Overall, this trial is important for helping healthcare providers better understand and support older adults during their surgical journeys.
