It is characterized by an acute and fluctuating disturbance of attention, awareness, and thinking. Delirium may be associated with prolonged hospital stay, loss of independence, cognitive decline, complications, and increased need for care.\n\nThe University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf has introduced a multicomponent care program to prevent postoperative delirium in patients aged 65 years and older. The program includes preoperative assessment of risk factors such as frailty, cognitive impairment, and malnutrition, as well as information for patients and relatives. Depending on the individual risk profile, preventive measures may include support with orientation, adequate hydration and nutrition, early mobilization, preservation of the sleep-wake cycle, use of glasses and hearing aids, avoidance of unnecessary room changes, and reduction of medications that may contribute to delirium. A specialized delirium team supports patients and clinical staff during the hospital stay.\n\nEvaDel is a prospective study evaluating how patient care and clinical outcomes change while this delirium prevention program is gradually implemented in routine clinical practice. Participants will be followed from before surgery until three months after the operation. The study will assess the occurrence of postoperative delirium, cognitive function, independence in everyday activities, postoperative complications, and the extent to which the preventive measures were successfully implemented.\n\nThe study hypothesis is that a higher degree of implementation of the delirium prevention program will be associated with a lower rate of postoperative delirium and with better cognitive, functional, and clinical outcomes after surgery.",[27,28,29,30],"Postoperative Delirium","Delirium Prevention","Multicomponent Care Program","Older Adults (60 - 85 Years Old)",[32,33,34,35],"delirium","older adults","anesthesia","surgery","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-08-22",{"date":39,"type":40},"2026-08-26","ACTUAL",{"date":42,"type":21},"2026-10-01",{"date":44,"type":21},"2029-06-30",{"name":46,"class":47},"Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf","OTHER"]
