Summary

This study looked at whether a blood test measuring lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) can predict postoperative delirium (confusion) in older surgical patients. Researchers studied over 6,400 adults aged 65 and older who had elective noncardiac, nonneurosurgical procedures. They wanted to see if the link between LMR and delirium risk changes depending on a person's frailty status.
