Summary
This study looked at whether giving a steroid (methylprednisolone) during anesthesia can lower the chance of delirium (sudden confusion) after abdominal surgery in people 65 and older. Researchers analyzed records from 25,800 patients instead of running a new trial. The goal was to see if this approach works better than standard care.
