Meta AnalysisFactors Associated With Delirium in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Pediatric delirium (PD) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome caused by a complex interplay between predisposing factors (e.g., age, cognitive impairment), acute illness, and environmental triggers. PD is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study is to systematically review and evaluate factors associated with PD in hospitalized pediatric patients. ⋯ In this meta-analysis, we identified seven factors associated with greater odds of developing delirium during pediatric critical illness.
