Delirium in patients with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection: A multicenter study

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Dec 02, 2020

Rebora P, Rozzini R, Angelo B, et al. - Researchers conducted a multicenter observational cohort study to describe the prevalence of delirium on admission to the unit in patients hospitalized with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, to determine factors linked with delirium, and to examine the correlation between delirium and in‐hospital mortality. From February 22 to May 17, 2020, they identified a total of 516 patients (median age 78 years) who were admitted to the participating centers with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Delirium on admission was reported in 73 (14.1%, 95%CI: 11.0‐17.3%) patients. Following factors were noted to be significantly linked with delirium: dementia, the number of chronic diseases, and chest X‐ray or CT opacity. As seen in a multivariable Cox model, there was an almost twofold increased hazard ratio for in‐hospital mortality for patients with delirium on admission vs those without delirium.
