In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Postoperative delirium is a frequent and serious complication in older surgical patients, linked to prolonged hospitalization and long-term cognitive decline. The pathogenesis of delirium possibly includes inflammation and blood-brain barrier disruption. Early identification of at-risk patients is limited by the lack of reliable biomarkers. Therefore, we will evaluate as our primary aim the association between S100B measured within 2 hours after surgery and the occurrence of postoperative delirium within the first three postoperative days in patients over the age of 65 undergoing major non-cardiac, non-intracranial and non-vascular surgery. We will further evaluate the association between NSE, IL-6 and Copeptin concentrations, measured within 2 hours after surgery, on the occurrence of delirium within the first three postoperative days. We will also evaluate the predictive value of S100B
