Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Functional ConnectivityPre-operative measure: Up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Post-operative measure: Post-Operative days 1-4

Change from baseline functional connectivity at immediate postoperative period and association between delirium (CAM) and functional connectivity of the cingulate cortex

Brain state changePost-operative day 1 through 4

Quantified by the MSD across regions of interest from resting state time-series to randomly spaced points across the time-series. Measured for Cohort 2 only.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Connectivity during deliriumPost-operative day 1 through 4

Dynamic causal modeling of cortical connectivity during delirium.

InflammationPre-operative measure: Up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Post-operative measure: POD1-4

Assess the changes from preoperative to postoperative EEG associated with delirium and change in plasma/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) IL-6 or other biomarkers (e.g. other cytokines or markers of neronal injury)

BiomarkersPost-operative day 1 through 4

Identify biomarkers of delirium and neural damage through changes in circulating plasma proteins and molecules (through mass spectometry)

Brain measurementsPreoperative MRI will occur up to 4-weeks prior to surgery. Delirium is followed postoperatively, days 1-4

Assess the association between preoperative white matter connectivity (DTI) and cortical thickness (derived from MRI) and postoperative delirium

Long term cognitionPre-operative cognition measures will occur up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Long term post-operative cognition measured 2 years after surgery.

Identify predictors of delirium severity and incidence, for change in cognition from preoperatively to two-years postoperatively.

Baseline cognition, specific and global.Cognition is assessed preoperatively. Participants are followed for delirium on postoperative days 1-4

Examine the association between preoperative cognition using a neuropsychological battery, and postoperative delirium incidence.

Biomarkers and brain measurementsPre-op measures: up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Post-op measures: one year, and two years, after surgery.

Assess the changes in cognition and biomarkers over one year with EEG changes.

Representativeness of surgical populationPre-op MRI: up to 4 weeks prior to surgery.

Identify whether patients who consent to the MRI are reflective of the surgical population.

Genetics and deliriumPre-op blood collected up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Post-operative delirium measured on postoperative days 1-4. Post-operative blood collected on postoperative days 1-4. Long term blood collected 90 days and 1 year after surgery.

Identify genetic and epigenetic changes associated with delirium and its pathogenesis.

Postoperative amyloid beta deposition and deliriumPost-operative delirium measured on postoperative days 1-4. PET imaging will occur 90 days after surgery.

Identify associations between delirium and amyloid beta deposition detected by Positron Emission Tomography at 90 days after surgery in sub-study IPOD-PET.

Long term changes in amyloid beta deposition and deliriumPre-operative PET imaging will occur up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Post-operative delirium measured on postoperative days 1-4. Post-operative PET imaging will occur 1 year after surgery.

Identify associations between delirium and amyloid beta deposition detected by Positron Emission Tomography preoperatively and 1 year after surgery in sub-study IPOD-PET2.

Mismatch negativityPost-operative day 1 through 4

EEG mismatch negativity during delirium compared to resolution of delirium.

Resolution of slow wave activityPost-operative day 1 through 4

Slow wave activity during delirium compared to resolution of delirium.

Effects of inflammation on brain activityPost-operative day 1 through 4

EEG correlations with biomarkers of inflammation and neuronal injury.

Delirium subtypes - neuronal dynamicsPost-operative day 1 through 4

EEG neuronal dynamics (energy landscape analysis) during hyperactive vs hypoactive delirium.

Delirium subtypes - predisposing neuronal dynamicsUp to 4 weeks prior to surgery.

Preoperative neuronal dynamics between hyperactive and hypoactive delirium.

Delirium subtypes - network stitchingPost-operative day 1 through 4

Task evoked network switching and locus coeruleus activity between hyperactive and hypoactive delirium.

Delirium subtypes - network integrationUp to 4 weeks prior to surgery.

Preoperative brain network integration vs differentiation between hyperactive and hypoactive delirium.

Pupillary responsesPost-operative day 1 through 4

Pupillary response during rest and cognitive task in delirious versus nondelirious participants.

Metabolism and SWAPost-operative day 1 through 4

Correlation between SWA location, delirium subtype, and MCT2 expression.

Injury versus inflammation4 weeks prior to surgery to 1 year post-surgery

Delayed resolution of biomarkers of neuronal dysfunction and inflammation as competing theories to neuronal injury.

Neuronal injury - surgery typePost-operative day 1 through 4

Association between biomarkers of neuronal injury and type of surgery.

Change in cognitionPost-operative day 1 through 4

Association of biomarkers of neuronal injury with change in cognition.
