- Abstract
Disparities exist in the identification, treatment, and management of delirium. These disparities can be most holistically and comprehensively understood by using a social-ecological model-which acknowledges multilevel impacts including individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and policy-level factors-as well as a social determinant of health framework, that considers nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. This narrative review leverages both frameworks to identify and discuss existing literature pertaining to the intersection of these social risk factors and delirium, focusing specifically on disparities due to racial and/or ethnic identity, language ability, and socioeconomic differences. We also look at disparities and the potential role of these social risk factors throughout the continuum of care, including prehospitalization, hospitalization, and posthospitalization factors. Understanding and analyzing the role of these inequities is critical to ensuring better health outcomes for patients at risk of and/or with delirium.
