Article Synopsis
- Delirium is a prevalent disorder that negatively affects elderly patients, but the effectiveness of various treatment methods is not fully known.
- A systematic review analyzed literature on pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for elderly patients over 60 with delirium from several databases up to 2016.
- The findings showed that while pharmacological treatments, like rivastigmine and olanzapine, improved delirium symptoms and cognitive function, non-pharmacological approaches did not significantly affect delirium duration or mortality but did help reduce its severity.
