Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Delirium with dementia

Delirium was detected using the short form of the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) both at admission and daily throughout the hospital stay. Cognitive status was determined using the Mini-Mental State Exam, Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR). Dementia was defined by a CDR score of 1. The primary independent variable was a composite of delirium and dementia diagnosis, and we examined the overlap by categorizing the cases into four groups: no delirium or dementia, dementia alone, delirium alone, and DSD.

Confussion assessment method (CAM)

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants enrolled in the Delirium group according to the CAM.

Dementia diagnosis

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants enrolled in the Dementia group according to the CDR scores and MMSE scores and DSM4/5 criteria

Dementia without Delirium

Delirium was detected using the short form of the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) both at admission and daily throughout the hospital stay. Cognitive status was determined using the Mini-Mental State Exam, Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR). Dementia was defined by a CDR score of 1. The primary independent variable was a composite of delirium and dementia diagnosis, and we examined the overlap by categorizing the cases into four groups: no delirium or dementia, dementia alone, delirium alone, and DSD.
