Official title

Preoperative Anxiety and Depression Among Older Chinese Patients: A Multicenter Cross-sectional Study

Overview

A multicenter, cross-sectional study to characterize the clinical profiles of the Chinese elderly population and to determine the prevalence of preoperative anxiety and depression.

Detailed description

As China's population ages, the proportion of elderly people undergoing surgery increases. Perioperative anxiety and depression, particularly in elderly patients, is common and associated with multiple medical and social adversities. Previous studies have found a significant risk of anxiety and depression in older perioperative patients. However, nationally representative epidemiological data for preoperative anxiety and depression, in particular elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac major surgery, are unavailable in China.

Therefore, providing nationwide epidemiological data on preoperative anxiety and depression in Chinese elderly patients provides a valuable opportunity for policy makers and health care professionals to optimize the management of geriatric mental health in China.

Primary outcome measures

  • Preoperative Anxiety [Time frame: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery)]
  • Preoperative Depression [Time frame: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery)]
