Study Summary
Patients with a medical condition known as obstructive sleep apnea may be at increased risk of delirium following surgery. This study loans autotitrating CPAP machines to randomly-selected patients who are at high-risk for obstructive sleep apnea with the goal of preventing post-operative delirium.
Primary Outcome
Assessments for delirium were made on postoperative day 2 using the Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98 (DRS-R-98) diagnostic and assessment tool. The DRS-R-98 is a 16-item clinician-rated scale that consists of a severity score (maximum score 39, minimum 0) made up of items that can be used for repeated serial measurements and a total scale score (maximum score 46, minimum 0) that includes the severity score plus three diagnostic items (7 additional possible points) used for initial ratings.
