Your sleep watch could predict Post-Surgery confusion

NCT ID NCT06052397

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether sleep patterns in the two weeks before major orthopedic surgery can help predict delirium (sudden confusion) after the operation. Researchers will ask 150 older adults (70+) to wear a watch that tracks sleep and to give blood samples. The goal is to find sleep-related biomarkers that could identify those at higher risk for postoperative delirium and cognitive decline.
