BackgroundPostoperative delirium (POD) is a complication of surgery in older adults associated with adverse outcomes. Current screening methods demonstrate poor interrater reliability, and conventional electroencephalography (EEG)-based screening requires intensive setup. Point-of-care (POC) EEG technology offers a rapid and objective alternative that may capture neurophysiological signatures of delirium risk. When combined with baseline and perioperative variables, POC EEG may enable prediction...
