Trial summary

Delirium is known to be one of the most common postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing surgery. Because postoperative delirium can affect the length of hospital stay and prognosis significantly, it is important to identify the risk factors for postoperative delirium in advance.

About this study

Official title: The Incidence and Risk Factors of Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery

Delirium is known to be one of the most common postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing surgery. Because postoperative delirium can affect the length of hospital stay and prognosis significantly, it is important to identify the risk factors for postoperative delirium in advance. However, there have been few reports concerning intraoperative modifiable risk factors, such as postoperative pain, for postoperative delirium.

Read the detailed description

In this observational study, we will review the electronic medical records of elderly patients underwent spine surgery and assess the incidence and risk factors for postoperative delirium.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Delirium in Old Age, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of delirium (time frame: through study completion, postoperative period up to 2 years after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Feb 2022.
