What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Society is aging and advantages in anesthesia and surgery allow more complex interventions in older persons. Old age is a significant risk factor for the development of postoperative neurocognitive decline characterized by a gradual decrease in performance in several cognitive domains such as memory, attention, information processing, and executive functions, leading to problems with performing daily activities and maintaining independence and postoperative complications. The purpose of this study is to measure older persons' postoperative neurocognitive function, to detect neurocognitive decline, and to identify risk factors and difficulties in daily living as well as explore close relatives' experiences of it. We will include 220 participants ≥65 years of age undergoing planned cardiac surgery. Cognitive symptoms and signs and neurocognitive function will be assessed up to 6 months aft
