Simple blood test may predict Post-Surgery delirium risk
NCT ID NCT07194096
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple blood sugar measurement, called the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), can help predict which patients will develop delirium (sudden confusion) after surgery. Researchers will analyze medical records from 15,000 adults who had non-brain, non-heart surgery. The goal is to find a reliable way to identify high-risk patients early so that preventive steps can be taken.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to identify patients at high risk for delirium after surgery, allowing for early preventive care.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective study, meaning it looks back at existing data. It can show a link but cannot prove cause and effect. The results may not apply to all surgery types.
