Delrium is more than just confusion. It's a serious medical condition that can affect thinking, attention, and awareness, especially in hospitalized patients.
As we approach World Delirium Awareness Day on March 12, let's raise awareness and improve care!

#Delirium is strongly associated with mortality, but few studies have attempted to work out *why*.
This study linked restraints, hospital-acquired complications, & noxious insults with risk of mortality in delirium.
