Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The objectives of this pilot study are: 1. to determine whether a short cognitive test battery administered in the preadmission test center can be used to cognitively stratify elderly patients presenting for elective surgical procedures. 2. to evaluate the cost of cognitive screening in the preoperative testing center in terms of time and finances. 3. to evaluate patient perceptions about the use of preoperative cognitive screening and their outcome expectations from their surgical procedure. Subsequent investigations may evaluate whether preoperative cognitive screening is a predictor of postoperative morbidity and mortality in elderly surgical patients and whether a short cognitive screen administered in the preadmission testing center could be used to identify individuals with baseline cognitive impairments that should be refered for more formal cognitive evaluation.
