Landmark study by the AFN/UQ News/Macquarie University links delirium and dementia. Our analysis of over 600k patients in NSW reveals patients with delirium had a 39% higher risk of death and 3x the risk of dementia. Emily Gordon David Ward Prof Ruth E Hubbard shorturl.at/aitA9

Findings of new study suggest delirium was a strong risk factor for death and incident dementia among older adult patients. The clinical implications of delirium as a potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia are substantial, say researchers bmj.com/content/384/bm…

Delirium is common, dangerous and preventable in many cases. There are no excuses not to act. David Ward Prof Ruth E Hubbard

Steven Mathern David Ward The BMJ Emily Gordon Shlomo Berkovsky There’s good evidence now that we can do a lot to (i) prevent delirium and (ii) reduce its severity. Multicomponent interventions reduce delirium incidence by 40%. Nutrition & hydration; mobilisation; sleep; pain; social interaction; vision & hearing…. Just sensible care really.

UQ researchers have found older patients who experience #delirium are 3 x more likely to develop #dementia Prof Ruth Hubbard from UQ’s CHSR said the study also found that every episode of delirium increased the chance of developing dementia by 20% bit.ly/3VBcuSg
