Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In older patients, postoperative delirium (POD) is a major complication that can result in greater morbidity, longer hospital stays, and higher healthcare expenses. Accurate prediction models for POD can enhance patient outcomes by guiding preventative strategies. This study utilizes advanced machine learning techniques to develop a predictive model for POD using comprehensive perioperative data.
