Evaluation of delirium data from previous patients at a clinic
Retrospective Evaluation of Delirium Data From Previous Study Patients for Studies at the Clinic for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine CCM/CVK/CBF
This study looks at past patient records to see what factors might cause delirium after surgery, especially in older adults and how it might differ between men and women.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to create a register of delirium data collected from patients aged 18 to 100 who underwent procedures at the Clinic for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine. It will assess various factors influencing the development of delirium, with a specific focus on identifying risk factors for postoperative delirium in elderly patients aged 60 and above, while also examining gender differences. The study will utilize existing data from prior studies to evaluate the incidence and severity of delirium.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are male and female patients aged 18 years and older who have been part of studies at the Clinic for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine.
Not a fit: Patients who are not part of the previous studies conducted at the clinic may not benefit from this evaluation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of delirium risk factors, leading to improved prevention and management strategies for patients undergoing surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored delirium in surgical patients, indicating that understanding risk factors can lead to significant improvements in patient care.
