Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Assess the incidence and severity of postoperative delirium in geriatric patients undergoing general anesthesia in both the groupTimepoint: day 0 to day 7 postoperatively twice a day

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Compare the incidence and severity of postoperative delirium between the two anesthesia techniques.Timepoint: Day 0 to day 7 postoperatively twice a day;Measure cognitive function preoperatively and postoperatively using the mini mental state examination (MMSE) to assess the impact of anesthesia technique on cognitive outcomes.Timepoint: Preoperatively and postoperatively;Investigate serum biomarkers S100B and A2M associated with neural damage in the geriatric population to explore potential correlations with anaesthesia technique and postoperative deliriumTimepoint: preoperatively and postoperative day 1;Analyse the association between cognitive function, serum biomarkers, and the occurrence of postoperative deliriumTimepoint: at time of data analysis
