Delirium is common, dangerous and preventable in many cases. There are no excuses not to act.
@David_D_Ward @ProfREHubbard
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

Landmark study by the AFN/@UQ_News/@Macquarie_Uni 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.
