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.
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 gone: Other studies have explored delirium in surgical patients, indicating that understanding risk factors can lead to significant improvements in patient care.
