Analyzing serum indicators in elderly patients after gastrointestinal surgery
Correlation Analysis of Postoperative Delirium and Postoperative Neurocognitive Disorder in Elderly Patients With Gastrointestinal Neoplasms
This study is testing how certain blood markers in older patients who have gastrointestinal surgery relate to whether they experience confusion after surgery and any long-term thinking problems.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the differences in serum indicators among elderly patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms who experience postoperative delirium (POD) and those who do not develop long-term postoperative neurocognitive disorders (pNCD). Patients aged 65 and older undergoing surgery at Xuanwu Hospital will have their serum indicators measured before and after surgery, alongside cognitive assessments using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The study will classify patients into POD and non-POD groups and further assess neurocognitive function in the POD group to identify the presence of pNCD. The findings may provide insights into the relationship between serum indicators and cognitive outcomes in this population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are elderly patients aged 65 and above who are undergoing surgical procedures for gastrointestinal neoplasms.
Not a fit: Patients with a history of psychiatric or neurological disorders, or those unable to complete cognitive assessments, may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify serum indicators that predict cognitive outcomes in elderly patients after gastrointestinal surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored cognitive outcomes in surgical patients, this specific correlation analysis of serum indicators in elderly patients is relatively novel.
