Blood protein may flag brain risks after surgery
NCT ID NCT07509372
First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a protein called S100B in the blood can help predict memory problems or confusion after surgery. Researchers followed 137 adults having elective surgery, testing their blood and thinking skills before and after the operation. The goal was to see if S100B levels or genetic differences could identify who might have trouble. This was an observational study, meaning no treatment was given—just careful measurement.
