ClinConnect Summary

The Ortopod CZ Pilot Study is a clinical trial that looks at how cognitive functions may change around the time of surgery and how this can lead to postoperative delirium, which is confusion or memory problems that can happen after surgery. The study specifically focuses on patients who are having elective hip replacement surgery. It aims to understand how these cognitive changes can affect recovery after surgery.

To participate in this study, you need to be 65 years or older and scheduled for a hip replacement surgery. You should not have any significant sensory impairments, and your overall health should be stable. During the study, participants will undergo assessments of their cognitive functions before and after surgery to help researchers gather important information. This research could help improve the care and recovery of older patients undergoing surgery in the future.
