Electroencephalographic Biomarker to Predict Postoperative Delirium

Sponsor: University of Chile

Summary

Acute post-operatory cognitive dysfunction states are one of the most important complications in older patients that underwent surgery. Among them postoperative delirium (POD) is the the most studied. Patients who develop delirium have poorer long-term outcomes, such as longer length of hospital stay, institutionalization at discharge, and even higher mortality, and consequently, the human and economic costs significantly increase for the health system. Here the research team will use an observational cohort, investigator blinded in five-center with a primary endpoint to validate intraoperative EEG analysis as a reliable biomarker of postoperative delirium.
