Postoperative delirium is a frequent complication in children undergoing general anesthesia. It has been suggested that inflammation and oxidative stress contribute to the pathophysiology of delirium. The aim of this prospective observational study was to investigate the relationship between inflammatory markers, and delirium. The main questions it aimed to answer were: * Is there a realtionship between delirium and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio? * Is there a realtionship between delirium and platelet volume? * Is there a realtionship between delirium and platelet distribution width? * What is the incidence of postoperative delirium in the study group?
