What is the Delirium Bibliography? The searchable Delirium Bibliography page is one of our most popular features, allowing you to quickly gain access to the literature on delirium and acute care of older persons. It is primarily intended for clinicians and researchers interested in exploring these topics. The NIDUS team keeps it updated for you on a monthly basis!

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Frailty, history of dementia (HoD), and acute confusional states (ACS) are common in older patients admitted to hospital. OBJECTIVE: To study the association of frailty (≥6 points in the Clinical Frailty Scale [CFS]), HoD, and ACS with hospital outcomes, controlling for age, gender, acute illness severity (measured by a Modified Early Warning Score in the emergency department), comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index), and discharging specialty (general medicine, geriatric medicine, surgery). DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. SETTING: Large university hospital in England. PATIENTS: We analyzed 8202 first nonelective inpatient episodes of people aged 75 years and older between October 2014 and October 2015. MEASUREMENTS: The outcomes studied were prolonged length of stay (LOS ≥10 days), inpatient mortality, delayed discharge, institutionalization, and 30-day readmission. Statistical analyses were based on multivariate regression models. RESULTS: Independently of controlling variables, prolonged LOS was predicted by CFS ≥ 6: odds ratio (OR) =1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.36-1.77; P < 0.001; HoD: OR = 2.16; 95% CI, 1.79-2.61; P < 0.001; and ACS: OR = 3.31; 95% CI, 2.64-4.15; P < 0.001. Inpatient mortality was predicted by CFS ≥6: OR = 2.29; 95% CI, 1.79-2.94; P < 0.001. Delayed discharge was predicted by CFS ≥6: OR = 1.46; 95% CI, 1.27-1.67; P < 0.001; HoD: OR = 2.17; 95% CI, 1.80-2.62; P < 0.001; and ACS: OR = 2.29; 95% CI: 1.83-2.85; P < 0.001. Institutionalization was predicted by CFS ≥6: OR = 2.56; 95% CI, 2.09-3.14; P < 0.001; HoD: OR = 2.51; 95% CI, 2.00-3.14; P < 0.001; and ACS: OR 1.93; 95% CI, 1.46-2.56; P < 0.001. Readmission was predicted by ACS: OR = 1.36; 95% CI, 1.09-1.71; P = 0.006. CONCLUSIONS: Routine screening for frailty, HoD, and ACS in hospitals may aid the development of acute care pathways for older adults.
