PRe-Operative Prediction of postoperative DElirium by appropriate SCreening (PROPDESC) development and validation of a pragmatic POD risk screening score based on routine preoperative data

Structured PICO

Does the PROPDESC score accurately predict postoperative delirium based on routine preoperative data?

Population

Preoperative patients (development and validation cohorts)

Intervention

PROPDESC risk screening score based on routine preoperative data

Outcome

Postoperative delirium (POD)

The PROPDESC score is a promising pragmatic tool for predicting postoperative delirium using routine preoperative data, though it requires further external validation.

Abstract

The PROPDESC score showed promising performance on a separate validation cohort in predicting POD based on routine preoperative data. Suitability for universal screening needs to be shown in a large external validation.
