Summary

This study tested whether computer alerts in medical records could help doctors follow best practices to prevent postoperative delirium (sudden confusion after surgery) in patients with cognitive impairment (memory or thinking problems). The study included over 7,400 adults having surgery. The approach used machine learning to identify high-risk patients and then prompted doctors with care recommendations. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
