What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cytokine dynamics
Time Frame: 2 days
Difference preoperative serum cytokine levels and postoperative serum cytokine levels in pg/mL.
2 days
Incidence of postoperative delirium
Time Frame: 5 days
Assessment for presence or absence of delirium during the post operative period.
5 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Self reported health related quality of Life
Time Frame: 120 days
Assessed preoperatively and again at approximately 120 days after surgery using the EuroQol Five Dimension Five level (EQ-5D-5L) tool. The tool assesses on five aspects of health (Dimensions) and each dimension has five possible levels. The tool also has a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 (poorest) to 100 (best health)
