NCT03199950

Brief Summary

The hospital pharmacy at the Zuyderland Medical Centre developed the DElirium MOdel (DEMO) to predict which patients are at risk of developing a delirium in patients aged 60 or older. With this delirium risk prediction model we aim to predict more accurately which patients are at high risk of developing a delirium and want to investigate if these patients can benefit from prophylactic haloperidol.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Occurence of delirium

    Will prophylactic haloperidol in high risk patients as established with DEMO reduce the incidence of delirium?

    Delirium within 5 days postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Costs of treatment

    up to 2 years

  • Days admitted to hospital

    an average of two weeks

  • Adverse events of intervention medication

    an average of two weeks

  • Circulating concentration of Haloperidol

    up to 2 years

  • Duration of delirium

    an average of two weeks

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
