What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. incidence of postoperative delirium within 7 days

    postoperative delirium(POD), assessed with Confusion Assessment Method scale and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale together.

    Measured: day 1-7 after surgery, more scores means higher incidence of POD

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. non-delirium complications

    postoperative complications except for delirium

    Measured: day 1-7 after surgery

  2. length of stay

    length of hospital stay

    Measured: approximately day 1 in hospital to day 7

  3. pain assessment within 3 days

    postoperative pain estimated with Numerical Rating Scale

    Measured: day 1-3 after surgery, higher scores mean more pain.

  4. all-caused mortality within 30 days

    short-term follow up

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  5. survival in 1 year

    long-term follow up

    Measured: 1 year discharge from hospital

  6. adverse events to shenfu injection

    adverse events caused form shenfu injection

    Measured: approximately day1-7 after surgery
