Relevance of Preoperative Cognitive Impairment for Predicting Postoperative Delirium in Surgical Medicine: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Post-operative delirium is a dreaded complication after surgery in older patients. The identification of risk factors for delirium and comprehensive geriatric assessment is an extensive part of recent research. However, the preoperative assessment of risk factors, such as impaired cognition, is frequently not standardized.

Risk of sarcopenia, frailty and malnutrition as predictors of postoperative delirium in surgery.

Background: The risk factors for postoperative delirium are numerous and complex. One approach to identifying patients at risk is to evaluate their nutritional status. The aim of this prospective study is to better understand nutrition as a potential risk factor for postoperative delirium.

Correlation Between Reduced Daily Living Competence and the Risk of Postoperative Delirium in Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery.

Postoperative delirium is a prevalent and serious complication among elderly patients following surgical procedures. Prior research indicates that reduced competence in daily living, as evidenced by limitations in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL), is directly associated with reduced patient mobility. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of preoperative mobility as a risk factor for the development of postoperative delirium.

Comprehensive geriatric assessment for predicting postoperative delirium in oral and maxillofacial surgery: a prospective cohort study.

Identifying high-risk patients for developing postoperative delirium (POD) is essential for optimizing the medical field's human and financial resources through specialty-relevant geriatric assessments that can aid in establishing prehabilitation strategies. This study aims to identify geriatric screening tools to predict preoperative delirium and explore the high-risk elderly patients undergoing oral maxillofacial surgery. A comprehensive geriatric assessment encompassing 23 instruments was used to evaluate inpatients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia, preoperatively and postoperatively.

Determination of Quality Indicators for Microvascular Grafts in Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery-A Retrospective Analysis of 251 Free Flaps.

Background: The use of microvascular grafts is the gold standard in oral and maxillofacial surgery for the reconstruction of soft tissue and bony and combined defects. Graft loss is one of the most serious complications in the field of reconstructive surgery. A comprehensive analysis of factors influencing this is, therefore, essential.
