ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding and predicting the risk of postoperative delirium and long-term cognitive issues in elderly patients after surgery. Postoperative delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can happen after an operation, and it may lead to longer-lasting problems with thinking and memory. The researchers are using advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, to analyze a large amount of medical data. Their goal is to develop a system that can identify patients at high risk for these complications, allowing for earlier intervention and better care.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be at least 65 years old and have undergone surgery with anesthesia. They must also be able to give informed consent, meaning they understand the study and agree to take part. However, individuals with certain medical conditions, like severe mental health issues or cognitive impairments, will not be included. Participants can expect to contribute to important research that may improve care for older adults undergoing surgery, and they will be monitored closely for any signs of confusion or cognitive changes during their recovery.
