Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this work is to determine whether preoperative cognitive screening of patients over the age of 65 can be used as predictor of postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing lower extremity surgical procedures. This work is important as it may aid patients, families and physicians about the appropriateness of the surgical procedure and in providing resources to patients who are at the highest risk of adverse outcomes.
