When comparing the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) from before surgery to that measured at 30 days after surgery, patients with one or more features of SSD were more likely to have deterioration in IADL, defined as new dependency in one or more activities of IADL, when compared to those with no delirium or no subsyndromal delirium.
