Summary

This study tests whether a special program can reduce confusion (delirium) after surgery in older adults. Researchers will screen patients aged 60 and older before their operation to find those at highest risk. Those identified will receive extra care recommendations and educational materials for their family and medical team. The goal is to make surgery safer by preventing delirium through simple steps like better sleep and hydration.
