Active clinical trials for "Delirium"

Despite the presence of validated tests, there are still drawbacks to implementing delirium diagnosis tests in hospital wards. We developed a new, simple, easy to implement user friendly delirium diagnostic test that is likely to facilitate implementation in many departments. The present study will compare the new test to a well validated older test - 4AT.

This study intends to verify and explore the correlation of neuroinflammation biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of elderly patients undergoing hip replacement with postoperative delirium, so as to achieve a new method to predict whether patients will develop postoperative delirium and improve the prognosis of elderly patients with postoperative delirium. Reduce the probability of postoperative complications, improve the long-term survival rate of patients after surgery.

Delirium is very common in hospitalized older patients and associated with serious clinical bad outcomes (e.g. increased risk of functional decline and death). Despite its high prevalence in the hospital setting, delirium remains underdiagnosed. A better identification would allow an early management and a reduction of its complications. The validation of easy-to-use and quick and formalized tools for the identification of delirium and their implementation in the clinical practice are necessary. Recently, the 3D-CAM (3-minutes Diagnostic interview for Confusion Assessment Method -defined delirium) and the UB-CAM (Ultra-Brief CAM) showed very high sensitivity and specificity (> 90%), compared to the reference standard (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM criteria)) for the diagnosis of delirium. The investigators aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the French versions of the 3D-CAM and the UB-CAM used in delirium screening in older adults hospitalized in geriatric units, compared to reference standard.

To study whether there is a correlation between weakness and postoperative delusions in elderly non-cardiac surgery patients Can the improved debilitating index predict the delusion after non-cardiac surgery Which of the debilitating index are independent risk factors associated with postoperative delusions

This study is designed as a prospective, non-randomized, observational clinical study. The study will collect clinical and rrEEG (Ceribell EEG) data when monitoring subjects for delirium subtypes. EEG and clinical data will be collected for the development of future software algorithms to assess the presence and severity of delirium.

The current project aims to measure biomarkers in the cerebrospinalfluid (CSF) and serum samples from patients with delirium. We hope to uncover new insights into the pathophysiology of delirium and explore its link to dementia.

This BRAIN-ICU-2 study [Bringing to light the Risk factors And Incidence of Neuropsychological dysfunction (dementia) in ICU Survivors, 2nd Study] is in direct response to PAR-17-038 and will determine ICU patients' main paths to decline, maintenance, or recovery of brain function. We will answer gaps in knowledge about long-term outcome of post-ICU brain disease by following the remaining ICU survivors from the original BRAIN-ICU-1 study with complete cognitive testing for the first time ever to 12 years (AIM 1). We will consent and enroll 567 new ICU patients at Vanderbilt and Rush Universities (i.e., BRAIN-ICU-2 cohort) and determine how detailed neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid samples can help reveal locations and mechanisms of injury beyond what we learned from the clinical information collected in our original study (AIM 2). Importantly, we are mirroring the existing world-renowned Rush Alzheimer's Disease Research Center brain bank program so that all patients enrolled in Aims 1 and 2 will able to donate their brains to science for the first-ever in-depth pathological study of those who do and do not get post-ICU dementia to define this disease formally (AIM 3)

The study targets postoperative delirium in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, with the aim to evaluate the functional baseline and proteomics implicated in pathogenesis, prevention strategies (such as anesthesia depth monitoring) and incidence in certain population groups.

The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and etiologic risk factors of delirium in outpatient geriatric patients and also hospitalized patients.

In this study, patients with frontal glioma will be selected for preoperative neurocognitive assessment, APOE genotype detection, 3D structural imaging, cortical blood oxygen level dependent imaging (resting state + task state), and subcortical diffusion tensor multimodal MRI to explore preoperative brain structures and brain networks, and postoperative delirium will be assessed 1-3 days after surgery. The aim was to investigate the preoperative neuroanatomical basis of postoperative delirium in this population at the level of brain structure and network connectivity, and to predict the risk of patients by integrating cognitive indicators and neuroimaging markers in an event probability model to construct an optimal sequence of abnormalities in a series of markers, and then to establish a more population-specific subgroup prediction based on different APOE genotypes and the establishment of neurological compensation. The final clinical validation was performed on a small sample to provide a basis for the prevention of postoperative delirium in frontal glioma patients.
