Brain games before surgery: a new way to spot delirium risk?

This study tested whether older adults (60+) scheduled for major surgery could complete a set of six brain exercise games on a tablet before their operation. The goal was to see if this was practical in a busy clinic or hospital setting and whether the first-time game scores could help predict who might experience confusion (delirium) after surgery. 120 participants were enrolled, and the researchers measured how many completed the games and how satisfied they were with the experience.
