Incidence and Perioperative Factors Associated With Postoperative Delirium

NCT02904928 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 437

Last updated 2016-09-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

With the increasing number of advanced surgical operations being done annually, including the elderly, the risk of developing postoperative delirium is potentially high. Postoperative delirium is associated with longer hospital stay, poorer functional outcome, cognitive decline and an elevated morbidity and mortality, in addition to an increased cost of health care. However, most of the studies on postoperative delirium have been done in high income countries, leaving a paucity of literature on the incidence and associated factors of postoperative delirium in Africa and hence a need to do this study.
