Elderly, Postoperative Delirium, Surgery
Conditions
Brief summary
Postoperative delirium (POD) remains one of most common complication in elderly patients receiving surgery, which is characterized by acute and fluctuating change in the level of cognition and consciousness. Previous studies have shown that surgery and anesthesia-induced acute peripheral inflammation and neuroinflammation may lead to delirium after surgery. Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) is a more easily accessible and comprehensive inflammation marker derived from monocyte, neutrophil, and lymphocyte count, which has been investigated to assess the prognosis of cancer and infectious diseases. However, the relationship between SIRI and POD has yet to be investigated.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Confusion assessment method (CAM) score | Baseline (Before surgery) | Positive CAM score means that the patient developed postoperative delirium. While negative CAM score means that the patient did not develop postoperative delirium. |
| CAM score | Postoperative day 1 | Positive CAM score means that the patient developed postoperative delirium. While negative CAM score means that the patient did not develop postoperative delirium. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The level of systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in peripheral blood. | Baseline (Before surgery) | The SIRI was calculated as neutrophil count × monocyte count/lymphocyte count. |
| Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) score | Baseline (Before surgery) | MMSE score ranges from 0 to 30 and higher score means better outcome. |
| MMSE score | postoperative day 1 | MMSE score ranges from 0 to 30 and higher score means better outcome. |
