What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of postoperative delirium

    Postoperative delirium was assessed using the 3D-CAM scale. It consists of 4 features, and a positive feature 1 and 2 plus 3 or 4 is considered postoperative delirium.

    Measured: Within 7 days after surgery. Delirium at any time during the 7 days after surgery was considered postoperative delirium.

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Systolic pressure

    "just entering the operating room", "immediately after intubation", "every 5 minutes after intubation until the patient leaves the operating room".

    Measured: Up to 5 hours in the operating room

  2. Diastolic pressure

    "just entering the operating room", "immediately after intubation", "every 5 minutes after intubation until the patient leaves the operating room".

    Measured: Up to 5 hours in the operating room

  3. Mean pressure

    "just entering the operating room", "immediately after intubation", "every 5 minutes after intubation until the patient leaves the operating room".

    Measured: Up to 5 hours in the operating room

  4. Heart rate

    "just entering the operating room", "immediately after intubation", "every 5 minutes after intubation until the patient leaves the operating room".

    Measured: Up to 5 hours in the operating room

  5. Incidence of postoperative admission to ICU

    Including immediate postoperative admission to ICU and postoperative admission to ICU in the ward.

    Measured: Up to 1 month after surgery

  6. Length of stay in ICU

    Duration of stay in ICU after surgery

    Measured: Up to 1 month after surgery

  7. Postoperative pain

    The degree of postoperative pain was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The pain level increased sequentially from 0-10

    Measured: Within 7 days after surgery

  8. Maximum postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP)

    Only the highest CRP values detected in the normal course of gastrointestinal surgery are collected, and no additional blood sampling or interventions are performed

    Measured: Up to 1 month after surgery

  9. Minimum postoperative albumin

    Only the lowest albumin values detected in the normal course of gastrointestinal surgery are collected, and no additional blood sampling or interventions are performed

    Measured: Up to 1 month after surgery

  10. Length of hospitalization

    The total number of days the patient spent at the hospital for the current consultation

    Measured: After the patient is discharged from the hospital, average 1 month

  11. Complication

    All the perioperative complications are recorded

    Measured: During the perioperative period, up to 1 month after surgery
