Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Higher versus lower mean arterial pressure target management in older patients having non-cardiothoracic surgery: A prospective randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low versus high mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels on the incidence of postoperative delirium during non-cardiothoracic surgery in older patients. ⋯ In older patients during non-cardiothoracic surgery, high-level blood pressure management might help reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Development and validation of a delirium risk prediction preoperative model for cardiac surgery patients (DELIPRECAS): An observational multicentre study.
To develop and validate a delirium risk prediction preoperative model for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. ⋯ The DELIPRECAS model (DELIrium PREvention CArdiac Surgery), consisting of four well-defined clinical risk factors, can predict in the preoperative period the risk of developing postoperative delirium in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. An automatic version of the risk calculator is available.
