This study is looking for a better way to prevent delirium (a state of confusion) in older, frail patients having planned surgery. Delirium can make a person anxious, sleepy, or confused. Frailty means the body might have trouble recovering from stress like surgery. This study will compare two approaches: one group will receive a detailed evaluation by a Geriatrician (a doctor specializing in older adults) after surgery, which may include sensory aids like eyeglasses. The other group will receive standard care, with their frailty noted in their medical record. The main goal is to see if the Geriatrician's evaluation can reduce the number of patients who experience delirium up to 7 days after surgery. You may be able to join if you are 60 or older and have a certain level of frailty, as measured before surgery. The study aims to enroll 200 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 200 participants. It compares two different care approaches after surgery.

What's involved

You would come once for standard surgery. After surgery, you would have delirium assessments twice daily in the hospital for up to 7 days.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

You will be followed for up to 7 days after surgery to assess for postoperative delirium.
