Description
Yasmin Alhamdah and co-authors examine in 2025 depression in older patients around planned non-heart surgery. Low mood can harm thinking, recovery, and daily function in this group. The study tracks mood before surgery and at three points after it over six months.
More than three hundred patients aged sixty five and up filled a fifteen-item mood scale at each point. About one in five screened positive for depression before surgery. Four thinking screens ran beside the mood checks to flag hidden impairment. Trend models trace how mood shifts across recovery and who stays low.
