About this study

Official title: Correlation Analysis of Postoperative Delirium and Postoperative Neurocognitive Disorder in Elderly Spinal Surgery Patients

This study is a prospective cohort study to investigate the differences in serum indexes between elderly spinal surgery patients with postoperative delirium (POD) who either develop or do not develop long-term postoperative neurocognitive disorders (pNCD).

Read the detailed description

To investigate the differences in serum indexes between elderly spinal surgery patients with postoperative delirium (POD) who either develop or do not develop long-term postoperative neurocognitive disorders (pNCD).

Neurocognitive function of the study participants was assessed within one week before surgery using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Compare changes in serum indexes level before and after surgery. Under routine anesthetic management of the Department of Anesthesiology and Surgical Operations at Xuanwu Hospital, endotracheal intubation general anesthesia was performed. Within 7 days post-surgery, delirium assessment was conducted using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), classifying patients into POD and non-POD groups. Neurocognitive function assessments were conducted long-term after surgery for the POD group to determine the presence of pNCD, further dividing the POD group into pNCD and non-pNCD subgroups, followed by serum indexes.By comparing the changes of serum indexes before and after surgery between the pNCD and non-pNCD subgroups, exploring the correlation of POD and pNCD.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
postoperative delirium(POD) and postoperative neurocognitive disorder(pNCD)Delirium (CAM scale ) was assessed 7 days after surgery and divided into POD and non-POD groups; one of the above scenarios indicated postoperative delirium;The patients in the POD group were evaluated for cognitive function at 1 month and 12 months after surgery to determine whether pNCD occurred. The patients in the POD group were further divided into pNCD subgroup and non-PNCD subgroup, and serum indexes were compared

What is being measured

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

  1. change in serum indexes between elderly spinal patients with postoperative delirium(POD) who either develop or do not develop postoperative neurocognitive disorders (pNCD) one month after surgery

    Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) represent one of the common complications of general anesthesia, posing serious hazards and currently being a hot topic and a challenging problem in international research. Recently, general anesthesia has led to a new breakthrough in the study of PND serum-related markers, such as brain-derived nutritional factors(BDNF)、C-reactive protein(CRP)、homocysteine(Hcy). This provides new perspectives for PND prevention, evaluation and furnishes theoretical grounds for enhancing the safety of clinical anesthesia and the quality of life for patients.

    Measured: 2024.5.9-2026.5.1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Delirium and Postoperative Neurocognitive Disorder, run by Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing at 1 site in China.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2025. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact lei zhao (+8613811035886, zhaoalei@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in serum indexes between elderly spinal patients with postoperative delirium(POD) who either develop or do not develop postoperative neurocognitive disorders (pNCD) one month after surgery (time frame: 2024.5.9-2026.5.1). 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 3 Apr 2025.
