Study Summary
Postoperative delirium is a significant public health concern, affecting up to 70% of elderly patients presenting for surgery. Furthermore, postoperative delirium is associated with increased mortality, persistent cognitive decline, increased hospital length of stay, and elevated healthcare costs. Unfortunately, there is a lack of evidence-based strategies that consistently and effectively reduce the risk of delirium. In fact, although the American Geriatrics Society has released guidelines for the prevention of postoperative delirium, the evidence supporting many of the proposed preventive measures has been deemed low quality. Cognitive training exercises have been shown to improve cognitive function and functional status in community-dwelling elderly adults, and benefits may last for several months to years. Specifically, training exercises have led to improved performance in attention, short-term memory, and visuospatial processing; all of which are implicated as clinical features of delirium. Cognitive training has also strengthened connectivity in brain networks implicated in postoperative delirium. Thus, given these specific neurological benefits afforded, preoperative cognitive training may provide protection against the development of postoperative delirium. As such, the aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of implementing a preoperative cognitive training program for surgical patients at high-risk for delirium and other associated complications.
