The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th ed. (DSM-5) describes delirium as a "disturbance in attention (i.e., reduced ability to direct, focus, sustain, and shift attention) and awareness (reduced orientation to the environment)". In addition, a "disturbance in cognition (e.g.,
With the growing number of the older population, surgery for elderly patients is on the rise. Elderly patients often have more cardiovascular disease and brain vulnerability and tend to experience more perioperative complications. Perioperative covert stroke is one of those that can been neglected
In December 2019, Wuhan city in China, became the center of an outbreak of pneumonia due to a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which disease was named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) in February, 2020, by WHO. The COVID19 is much more dangerous for people over 60 with a death rate of 3.6% after 60,
Postoperative neurocognitive impairments often occur in elderly patients undergoing major surgery, including postoperative delirium(POD) characterized by an acute change in cognition with altered consciousness and impaired attention, and postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD) mainly manifested as
The renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) is integral to cardiovascular homeostasis and involved in the regulation of blood pressure, electrolyte balance and intravascular volume. Renin is produced from the renal juxtaglomerular cells and converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin. Angiotensin is
Delirium and cognitive decline are common following cardiac surgery and increase the burden on patients and health care resources. Covert (sub-clinical) strokes are associated with these complications. The investigators conducted a prospective cohort pilot study enrolling consecutive cardiac surgery
Surgical resection is the main treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and continuous efforts have been made to evolve surgical strategies and techniques. It has been now been realized that perioperative period is characterized with profound changes and anesthesia management
Liver Transplant Liver transplantation (LT) is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver disease. Despite continuous advancement in technology, it remains a high-risk operation. The building-up of an oxygen debt during LT can lead to an increased risk of poor postoperative outcomes
Method:
1. Study design: This study is a prospective investigation that identifies risk factors for postoperative delirium and searches for predictive biomarkers of delirium.
2. Inclusion criteria / Exclusion Criteria
1. Inclusion criteria

Decision to perform this observational study was made due to the lack of information on the local incidence and risk factors for the development of immediate postoperative delirium (IPD).
A literature review was done to study the already implicated perioperative causative factors as well as other
