Summary

This study looks at whether measuring sugar use in a key brain area (the hippocampus) before surgery can help predict which older adults with type 2 diabetes are more likely to become confused or delirious after an operation. Researchers will enroll 154 patients aged 65 and older who are scheduled for liver tumor surgery. Participants will have a brain scan and simple thinking tests before surgery, and then be checked for delirium twice daily for a week after surgery. The goal is to find a way to identify high-risk patients early so doctors can take steps to prevent confusion.
