In the course of a scientific accompanying program, the project pursues the goal of gaining further insight into a possible connection between various influencing factors and the development of postoperative delirium. Against this background, in addition to the primary goal of exploring delirium rates, we aim to identify associations between other secondary end goals like the internal circadian time or the heart rate variability and the occurrence of postoperative delirium. For this purpose, patients of the QC-POD (NCT04355195) sample will be studied.
