Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.To measure the prevalence of cognitive dysfunction among elderly postoperative patients (by using HMSE) after GA and RA 2.To compare the incidence of POCD after GA and RA Timepoint: During pre-anaesthetic evaluation and within 24hours after surgery patients will assessed with CAM score and HMSE score and after 2 weeks and 4 weeks by HMSE score—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To find out time required for recovery from POCD among elderly patients 2. To find out whether all patients undergoing GA and RA recovered from POCD after 4 weeks of postoperative periodTimepoint: During pre-anaesthetic evaluation and within 24hours after surgery patients will assessed with CAM score and HMSE score and after 2 weeks and 4 weeks by HMSE score—
