Article Synopsis
- Delirium is a frequent issue among older hospitalized patients, potentially leading to serious health consequences.
- The study reviewed 35 articles involving over 12,000 participants, finding a pooled prevalence of 23.6% and incidence of 13.5% for delirium in this demographic.
- Key risk factors identified include frailty, the use of physical restraints, prior falls, severe illness, cognitive impairment, and older age; meanwhile, more years of education appear to reduce risk.
