ABSTRACT: Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is one of the most common surgical complications in elderly patients. This study investigated the incidence of and perioperative risk factors for POD following urological surgery. Methods: A total of 162 male patients aged ≥50 years undergoing elective major urological surgery under general anesthesia from May 2024 to March 2025 were included in this prospective observational study. Delirium was assessed using CAM-ICU twice a day for five postoperative days. Groups with and without delirium were compared, and perioperative predictors of delirium were analyzed. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for POD. Results: Overall, 16% of patients developed delirium during the follow-up period. P
