Markers of Alzheimers Disease and Cognitive Outcomes After Perioperative Care
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and General anesthesia with isoflurane for Alzheimers Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 191 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will examine the hypothesis that changes in the cognition (i.e. thinking and memory) after anesthesia and surgery are correlated with changes in markers of Alzheimers Disease in the fluid around the brain and spinal cord (i.e. cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF), and/or changes in brain connectivity. The investigators will also examine whether different types of anesthesia have different effects on these CSF markers of Alzheimers disease, or different effects on thinking and memory after anesthesia and surgery, or differential effects on the correlation between cognitive changes and CSF marker changes.
