“…We developed the model using 11 related factors to predict delirium in critically ill patients and further determined that prophylaxis with Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride in delirious ICU patients was beneficial. Patients who suffer from nervous system disease are at a higher incidence of delirium, and corresponding measures should be used for prevention. …”

“…RESULTS: A total of 206 patients were included, 167 did not present delirium and 39 (19%) were analyzed for delirium. Delirious patients had a significantly longer duration of mechanical ventilation (10 days[6–20] vs. 2 days[0–7]) respectively and length of stay in ICU (21.5 days [10.5–32.5] vs. 8 days [5–13]), with no impact on mortality. …”

“…During HUT, the delirium group had higher power spectral density (PSD) (representing total variability) (p = 0.06) and a lower low frequency (LF)/high frequency (HF)-ratio (an index of sympathovagal balance) than the control group (p = 0.06). Also, delirious patients had a significantly greater reduction in standard deviation of RR-intervals (SDNN) (representing total variability) from baseline than controls (p = 0.01) during HUT. …”

“…It shows that older age, more preoperative complications, longer operation time and more perioperative bleeding are more likely to lead to postoperative delirium; patients with general anesthesia were more likely to develop postoperative delirium than patients with local anesthesia (OR = 1.628); and patients with hip and pelvic fractures are more likely to develop a postoperative delirious state (OR = 1.316). Advanced age, complex orthopedic surgery, more medical comorbidities, general anesthesia and greater perioperative blood loss may be independent risk factors for the development of delirium after internal fixation of fractures in middle-aged and elderly patients.…”

“…Patients who experienced delirium were older (mean ± SD: 56 ± 18 versus 49 ± 17 years; p = 0.002) and more severely ill as measured by Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scores (median 15, interquartile range (IQR) 10–21 versus 11, IQR 6–16; p < 0.001) compared to their non-delirious counterparts. Patients who experienced delirium had a 29% greater risk of remaining in the ICU on any given day (compared to patients who never developed delirium) even after adjusting for age, gender, race, Charlson co-morbidity score, APACHE II score, and coma (hazard ratio (HR) 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.98–1.69, p = 0.07). …”

Although 50.9% of delirious patients had pre-existing dementia, it was poorly documented in the medical notes. …”
