Core Tip

Core Tip: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a clinical complication with severe adverse consequences that can lead to death, especially in elderly patients. POD can occur at any time after surgery until hospital discharge. Predicting and preventing the disease among the most important clinical goals as the pathophysiology is not fully understood and effective treatment is not available. With this objective, many tools for assessment of delirium have been validated and various models have recently been developed with the help of machine learning using known POD risk factors.
