Summary

This study will evaluate the usefulness of the Urgent and Emergency Surgery (UES) Delirium Recovery Model. It is hypothesized that the cognitive, physical and psychological recovery of older UES delirium survivors will be improved through the use of the DANE Recovery Model. Participants can expect to be on the study for 18 months.

Detailed description

This is a multi-site, two-arm, single-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of the DANE Recovery Model to improve the cognitive, physical and psychological recovery of older UES delirium survivors. At or near the time of discharge, enrolled participants will be randomized to receive the DANE Recovery Model or usual care. The hypothesis is that, after 18 months, older UES delirium survivors who are randomized to the DANE Recovery Model will experience more favorable cognitive, physical and psychological recovery in comparison to those randomized to usual care.
