Delirium after surgery linked to worse frailty and higher death risk in seniors
NCT ID NCT07259850
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at older adults (65+) having surgery to see if delirium (sudden confusion after surgery) makes frailty worse and how that affects their risk of dying within a year. Researchers followed over 6,000 patients, checking frailty before and one month after surgery, and tracked deaths for one year. The goal was to understand the connection, not to test a treatment.
