Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
incidence of postoperative deliriumfrom postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7

Confusion assessment methods(CAM) will be used to assess postoperative delirium at least two times a day during the hospitalization period. Patients diagnosed with delirium using the CAM were evaluated for the duration, symptoms, and type of delirium (e.g., reduced awareness of the environment; poor cognitive skills; behavioral changes, including hallucinations, restlessness, calling out, slowed movement, or lethargy; and emotional disturbances, such as anxiety, irritability, euphoria, apathy, unpredictable mood shift, and personality changes).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA),from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7

Core component of CGA are as follows : functional capacity, fall risk, cognition, mood, polypharmacy, social support, financial concerns, goals of care, and advance care preferences.

duration of deliriumfrom postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7
total score of QOR-40from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7

The Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) is a commonly utilized self-assessment questionnaire designed for postoperative patients. This survey is self-administered and aims to gather feedback from individuals about the quality of their recovery in the postoperative phase.

The QoR-40 is divided into categories such as emotional status, physical comfort, psychological support, physical independence, and pain. Max score of QoR-40 is 200.
