Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial to compare whether applying cognitive intervention therapy before and after surgery in elderly patients aged 65 years or older undergoing non-cardiac surgery can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium compared to conservative treatment.
Interventions
PROCEDUREcontrol group
The entire process is carried out according to Severance Hospital surgical protocols. The patients of control group will receive education from the research team about the importance of nutrition and exercise before and after surgery.
PROCEDUREintervention group
For the intervention group, the entire process is carried out according to the Severance Hospital surgical protocol, and the research team provides education before surgery on the importance of nutrition and exercise before and after surgery. In addition, the cognitive training program developed by Rowan is taught with the goal of performing it for at least 10 hours before the surgery, it is conducted the training program after the surgery.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| incidence of postoperative delirium | from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7 | Confusion assessment methods(CAM) will be used to assess postoperative delirium at least two times a day during the hospitalization period. Patients diagnosed with delirium using the CAM were evaluated for the duration, symptoms, and type of delirium (e.g., reduced awareness of the environment; poor cognitive skills; behavioral changes, including hallucinations, restlessness, calling out, slowed movement, or lethargy; and emotional disturbances, such as anxiety, irritability, euphoria, apathy, unpredictable mood shift, and personality changes). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA), | from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7 | Core component of CGA are as follows : functional capacity, fall risk, cognition, mood, polypharmacy, social support, financial concerns, goals of care, and advance care preferences. |
| duration of delirium | from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7 | — |
| type of delirium | from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7 | — |
| total score of QOR-40 | from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7 | The Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) is a commonly utilized self-assessment questionnaire designed for postoperative patients. This survey is self-administered and aims to gather feedback from individuals about the quality of their recovery in the postoperative phase. The QoR-40 is divided into categories such as emotional status, physical comfort, psychological support, physical independence, and pain. Max score of QoR-40 is 200. |
