Preoperative Cognitive Reserve in Older Surgical Patients: A Feasibility Study

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Investigators will evaluate feasibility of using a custom 6-game Lumosity brain exercise experience in busy clinical areas to obtain a quick, quantitative measure of cognitive reserve (first gameplay performance \[FGP\]) in older patients presenting for major surgery. Participants in this feasibility trial will serve as a pilot population to estimate postoperative delirium incidence in patients willing and able to complete the brief, self-directed, brain exercise experience on a portable electronic device in various preoperative encounters, and will provide insight into which preoperative encounter (outpatient clinic or morning of surgery preoperative holding) may be more conducive to brief preoperative cognitive evaluations and interventions in future studies. First gameplay performance obtained during study procedures will be compared based upon postoperative delirium status (positive verse negative) to evaluate predictive value of the custom 6-game battery. This will guide future studies of FGP as a quick, quantitative measure of cognitive reserve in older surgical patients, with potentially more utility in preoperative patients than other assessments of cognitive function.
