Analyzing serum indicators in elderly patients after gastrointestinal surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
