Summary

Cognition is the way people use their brains to think, understand, remember and make decisions. Cognitive changes are often seen even up to 1 year after surgery. Whether these changes are more than what is expected for someone's age and morbidities is still uncertain. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, many elective surgeries have been delayed, which is stressful for patients, but also represents an opportunity of understanding better how surgery can impact cognitive abilities. The purpose of this study is to explore if and how cognitive performance changes over time for patients aged 65 years or older, whose surgery has been postponed.

due to the COVID-19 emergency, following and assessing the cognitive performance of these patients over time before and after surgery. In particular, in this study, the participant's cognitive performance will be assessed periodically with a computer-based instrument for cognitive testing, self-administered at home, in which tests are based on playing cards.
