In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.
