About this trial

Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) originally developed to predict outcomes in inflammatory and malignant conditions; we asked if it can effectively predict postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery? NPS integrate markers such as albumin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio-all of which have been linked to adverse postoperative outcomes including POD.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Assessment of postoperative delirium

Assessment of postoperative deliurim will be done once daily by using an established screening instrument (The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM)). A positive CAM requires both (1) Acute onset \& fluctuating course AND (2) Inattention, plus (3) Disorganized thinking OR (4) Altered level of consciousness.

Time frame
on arrival to PACU, on postoperative day 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.

Secondary outcomes

1

Length of hospital stay

Determine the duration of hospital stay for geriatric hip fracture patients in our hospital.

Time frame
Directly before patients' discharge from hospital
