Preoperative Frailty and Postoperative Neurocognitive Disorders in Geriatric Patients in Georgia
This study is tracking whether elderly surgery patients in Georgia (the country) who are frail before their operation are more likely to develop cognitive problems afterward — things like confusion, memory decline, or delirium. Researchers will assess patients before and after hip or knee replacement surgery, then follow up at 30 days, three months, and one year. There is no assigned phase; this appears to be an observational study, not a drug or treatment trial.
