Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • POD

    Incidence of Postoperative Disfunction

    From day 1 to the last day in-hospital, if hospitalized for less than 3 days, or until day 3.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Mortality

    From day 1 to the last day in-hospital, if hospitalized for less than 3 days, or until day 3.

  • Complications

    From day 1 to the last day in-hospital, if hospitalized for less than 3 days, or until day 3.

  • Hospital length of stay

    From day 1 to the last day in-hospital, if hospitalized for less than 3 days, or until day 3.

Interventions

It is simple scored form of the cognitive mental status examination which includes eleven questions and requires only 5 to 10 minutes.

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain score (including aphasia, motor disability, major neurocognitive disorder, etc)

Mini Cog testDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Mini-Cog© test is another validated and simple tool to screen for dementia and cognitive dysfunction. It measures the cognitive reserve at the time of acute stress with a low degree of interobserver variability.
