“…This makes it difficult to differentiate between delirium, dementia, depression or other reasons for agitation or sedation and does not reflect the real incidence of postoperative delirium in our population. Prospective measurement with validated scales in elective elderly surgical CRC patients reveals incidence rates of postoperative delirium of 11–31% . Comparable articles report variable rates of surgical site infections in older age groups, although the mean incidence is similar to our findings .…”

“…For example, there is no difference in the ICU stay between the delirium or non-delirium patients of abdominal disease, the possible reason for consideration is that the patients with abdominal diseases included in this study were all surgical patients and showed transient delirium, which reversal quickly and has no affection on ICU stay. It is in contrast to what has been demonstrated in Raats et al's study [37] which show that high incidence of delirium was found in abdominal surgery patients. Delirium was associated with adverse outcomes including higher hospital stay, mortality and discharge to a nursing home.…”

“…However, surgeons have little knowledge of the assessment and management of preoperatively identifiable age-related factors that affect outcomes. Frailty, poor functional status, cognitive impairment and postoperative delirium in older people have all been shown to be associated with prolonged postoperative stay, adverse postoperative outcomes, [13][14][15][16][17] and postoperative discharge to a higher level of care. 18 The prevalence and severity of postoperative complications in an older surgical patient has also been shown to have a negative effect on the time take to return to baseline functional status.…”
