RECRUITING

Preoperative Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and Postoperative Delirium

Conditions

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

The purpose of this research is to find out the best way to reduce delirium in frail, older patients undergoing planned surgery. Delirium is a state of confusion and difficulty concentrating that is temporary. Delirium may make the person anxious, angry, sleepy, not think clearly, or hallucinate. Being frail in medicine means that the body may not easily recover from a stressor, such as surgery. This study will determine if a detailed on-going evaluation by a Geriatrician, doctor who specializes in the care of older adults, after surgery is better at decreasing the risk of delirium than simply highlighting the patient's frailty in the electronic medical record.

Official Title

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:60 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. Frailty as measured by the 5-modified frailty index (5-mFI) during the anesthesia preoperative assessment. The 5-mFI consists of 5 elements: 1-dependency for activities of daily living, 2-congestive heart failure within 30 days, 3-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or pneumonia currently treated with antibiotics, 4-diabetes, and 5-hypertension. The diagnosis of frailty by the 5-mFI is based upon the presence of 2 or more of the elements.
  2. 2. Elective inpatient surgery with an expected LOS \> 1 day;
  3. 3. Receiving general anesthesia
  4. 4. Adults who are unable to consent if they have a designated proxy able to consent
  1. 1. Absence or withdrawal of informed consent,
  2. 2. Presence of current delirium
  3. 3. prisoners
