  • Geriatrics
  • Neurology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Delirium is a frequent and serious condition in older adults.
  • It presents as a rapid-onset, fluctuating cognitive and attention deficit.
  • The condition is linked to significant adverse outcomes in the elderly population.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of delirium in the elderly.
  • To discuss the multifactorial etiology of delirium.
  • To outline current management strategies for delirium.

Summary:

  • Delirium is characterized by acute cognitive and attention impairment with a fluctuating course.
  • Its etiology is typically multifactorial, involving predisposing and precipitating factors.
  • Management integrates treatment of precipitating factors with symptomatic care.
