Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective multicenter cohort study, which will determine the prevalence of preoperative cognitive impairment (CI) using the Modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS- M), Eight-items interview to Differentiate Aging and Dementia (AD8), Telephone Montreal Cognitive Assessment (T-MoCA), and a single cognitive question from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We would determine the (1) the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC)) of the AD8, CDC single cognitive question, and T-MoCA against the TICS-M and (2) the correlation between CI and measures of postoperative delirium, sleep disturbances, functional disability, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), depression, quality of health, frailty, and pain in older surgical patients. This study will target older patients from the pre-operative clinics at Toronto Western Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH), Toronto. Research staff will identify eligible patients who are scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery. Written informed consent to participate in the study will be obtained from all patients.


Clinical Trial Description

The primary aim of this study is to (1) determine the prevalence of CI preoperatively in older surgical adults using virtual or telephone cognitive instruments, (2) determine the diagnostic accuracy of the AD8, CDC single cognitive question, and T-MoCA against the TICS-M, and (3) compare the trajectory of preoperative and postoperative outcomes between those with and without CI. The outcomes include functional disability, IADL, sleep disturbances, quality of health, frailty, pain and depression. In a preoperative assessment 1-30 days prior to their scheduled surgery, patients will be asked via telephone to complete TICS-M and T-MoCA and an online questionnaire, including the AD8, CDC single cognitive question, World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0), IADL, EuroQol 5 Dimension (EQ-5D-5L), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), 5-item FRAIL questionnaire, (FRAIL), visual analog pain scale (VAS pain), Single-item Sleep Quality Scale (SQS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and STOP questionnaire. These questionnaires will be repeated at follow-up visits at 30-, 90-, and 180-days post-surgery. At the hospital on post-operatively days 1-3, the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), SQS, and VAS pain will be administered during the in-person visit. Chart review of delirium will also be conducted during patients' stay at the hospital. ;
