About this study

Official title: Effects of Cognitive Intervention Therapy on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Non-cardiac Surgical Patients

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.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • control groupProcedure or surgery

    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.

  • intervention groupProcedure or surgery

    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.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of postoperative delirium

    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).

    Measured: from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA),

    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.

    Measured: from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7

  2. duration of delirium

    Measured: from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7

  3. type of delirium

    Measured: from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7

  4. total score of QOR-40

    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.

    Measured: from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7
