First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special recovery program can help older adults (65+) who experienced confusion (delirium) after emergency surgery. Participants will have virtual visits with a care coordinator and complete physical, cognitive, and psychological assessments over 18 months. The goal is to see if this program improves thinking, movement, and overall recovery compared to usual care.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a structured recovery program that helps older adults regain cognitive and physical function after delirium following emergency surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study testing a new care model, so it may not show clear benefits. Results depend on participant adherence and may not apply to all surgery patients.
