Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Group 1: Sensitivity and specificity of "Confusion Assessment Method - Postanesthetic Care Unit" (CAM-PACU)	in reference to International Classification of Diseases-Version 10 (ICD-10)	15-240 minutes postoperatively
Primary	Group 2: postoperative delirium after discharge from Postanesthetic Care Unit	3D CAM and/or medical record	0-5 days postoperatively
Secondary	re-test reliability	CAM-PACU	15-240 minutes postoperatively
Secondary	cognitive performance	Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA, 0-30 points, higher score = better outcome), Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (COGTEL), Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS Neuro QoL)	before, 7 and 30 days postoperatively
Secondary	postoperative complications	European Perioperative Clinical Outcome (EPCO) definitions; Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine - Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (Step-COMPAC) definitions	30 days postoperatively
Secondary	feasibility of delirium screening by questioning of medical staff	self-designed questionnaire	before, 3 and 12 months after implementation of CAM-PACU
