Randomized Controlled Trial
Primitive reflexes associated with delirium: a prospective trial.
The presence of primitive reflexes (PRs) may have diagnostic or prognostic value in the evaluation of cognitive impairment. ⋯ Our study is the first to investigate the relationship between the appearance of PRs and the development of delirium. We have provided some evidence that PRs are associated with acute CNS dysfunction.
