Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The aim of the work is to determine the frequency and risk factors for periooperative delirium in <br>patients after surgical treatment in the Clinic for Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, <br>in the Clinic for Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and in the Clinic for Oral and Maxillofacial <br>and Plastic Facial Surgery at the University Hospital Düsseldorf in the intensive care unit and <br>normal ward and to analyse them. <br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The regular recording of dementia, the need for assistance in everyday life or the accumulation of several accumulation of several diseases by means of geriatric screening to determine the need for <br>geriatric care needs is practically not established. Co-morbid geriatric problems that lead to functional limitations are therefore often overlooked, <br>although they represent a major social and economic problem. This also raises question whether parameters of a geriatric assessment are associated with the incidence of delirium. <br>are associated with the incidence of delirium, how comprehensive such a perioperative geriatric assessment and whether the management of detected geriatric problems can reduce the incidence of delirium. <br>the incidence of delirium can be reduced.
