Multicenter Study
Predictors of delirium in older patients at the emergency department: a prospective multicentre derivation study.
The objective of this study was to identify the predictors of incident delirium in this high-risk population. ⋯ More work is needed to determine which tool(s) are most appropriate for the ED use to increase delirium screening compliance among health professionals working in this department. It is really the first step to be able to suggest interventions to decrease delirium incidence.
