Postoperative Delirium
Conditions
Brief summary
Patients with major orthopedic surgery will be recruited. Participants will be monitored for delirium after surgery. Participants' blood will be harvested for the determination of haptoglobin types, levels of oxidative stress and inflammation. Investigators will then analyze the data to see if haptoglobin 2-2 type is associated with an increased postoperative delirium, inflammation and oxidative stress.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative delirium incidence | From day 0 to up to 7 days after the surgery | The incidence of delirium as assessed by intensive care unit-confusion assessment method will be determined. |
| Postoperative delirium duration | From day 0 to up to 7 days after the surgery | The duration of delirium as assessed by intensive care unit-confusion assessment method will be determined. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
