 This study found that delirium is a common condition among elderly patients admitted to the hospital. It also identified several risk factors for delirium, such as pre-existing cognitive impairment, poor functional status, polypharmacy, urinary catheterization, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. Additionally, it showed that 56.9% of patients with delirium continued to experience delirium after being discharged from the hospital. This highlights the importance of implementing effective prevention strategies for delirium, such as early recognition using standard screening tools like the 3-minute diagnostic confusion assessment method, 3D, CAM, and developing geriatric wards.
