The primary objectives of the project are to describe perioperative cognitive trajectories of older patients whose elective noncardiac surgery has been deferred because of the COVID-19 emergency, and explore the intra-individual changes in these trajectories from before to after surgery, through periodic remote self-administered cognitive testing. Secondarily, in the same patients, the investigators will also describe the perioperative trajectories in depressive symptoms and pain, and study their correlation with the trajectories in cognitive performance. The study will be conducted remotely and virtually. The investigators will have an initial videoconference with the participant (and a support person if necessary) to explain the computerized cognitive test battery (i.e. the Cogstate Brief battery, CBB), and train on self-administration through a user-specific link. At each due assessment, the research team will call the participant to remind to complete the CBB? and to assess depressive symptoms, pain, and collect data on intercurrent clinical events (i.e. medication changes, hospitalization, ED or urgent care visits).
