Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the timing and intensity of physical and occupational therapy (PT/OT) impact the duration of delirium in older adults who visit the emergency department.
- The research analyzed data from patients aged 65 and older who received PT/OT during hospitalization, revealing that higher PT/OT intensity is linked to shorter delirium duration.
- However, the time taken to start PT/OT did not significantly affect delirium duration, with sessions typically beginning 2 days after the patients first visited the emergency department.
