About this study

The project "QV-POD-2" is a prolongation based on "QV-POD-1", which was a quality contract program of the IQTIG - Institute for Quality and Transparency in Health Care. The aim is to improve inpatient care for older patients who are undergoing inpatient surgery and thus to specifically reduce the postoperative risk of delirium. This is achieved through the implementation of evidence-based and consensus-based measures to prevent postoperative delirium in a comprehensive structured concept in routine care. The transparent documentation in an electronic patient file enables the relationships between the symptoms to be depicted in accordance with the clinical circumstances and the genesis of the postoperative delirium to be recorded and treated at an early stage. The content of the additional elements from the routine data (see primary and secondary outcome measures) in QV-POD-2 is analysed internally. Subproject Retro-Pressure started in August 2022: Retrospective, exploratory cohort study using electronic anesthesia and hospital records from Jan 1, 2016 to Jan 1, 2020, including patients ≥70 years undergoing surgery with anesthesia. The objective is to quantify associations between intraoperative blood pressure dynamics-variability, rate of change, relative hypo-/hypertension versus baseline, and time-integrated BP (area under/above reference)-and postoperative organ dysfunction Primary endpoints: Emergence delirium incidence (PACU/ITS) based on Nu-DESC scores and CAM-ICU sco…
