Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The investigators are performing this research study to understand the role of sleep
disturbance on the incidence/severity of delirium after surgery. The investigators will study
the brain using a polysomnography device (PSG), which records the brain's electrical activity
during sleep.

During this study, PSG recordings will be collected and a sleep questionnaire will be
administered to participants on the night before surgery in order to establish level of
preexisting sleep disturbance. Delirium assessments will be conducted during the
postoperative period. Further cognitive, quality of life and pain questionnaires will be
administered perioperatively.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Over 60 years of age

- Inpatient and scheduled for surgical procedure at MGH

Exclusion Criteria:

- Blindness, deafness or the inability to speak English

- Inability to provide informed consent
