Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Postoperative Delirium

Postoperative delirium (POD) incidence was assessed using the 3-minute Diagnostic Interview for CAM (3D-CAM). The 3D-CAM is a validated tool for the detection of delirium in older adults. It evaluates four key features: acute onset and fluctuating course, inattention, disorganized thinking, and altered level of consciousness. If the patient was discharged, follow-up was conducted by telephone or email.

Time frame
Delirium within 7 days of surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Postoperative Acute Pain

Postoperative acute pain was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The NRS is an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

Time frame
Pain within 7 days of surgery
2

Postoperative Pulmonary Infection

Postoperative pulmonary infection was assessed through physical examination and laboratory tests (chest X-ray, white blood cell count, etc.).

Time frame
Within 7 days of surgery
