Study identifies risk factors for delirium among hospitalized patients in Zambia

Study identifies risk factors for delirium among hospitalized patients in Zambia Severity of illness, history of stroke, and being divorced or widowed were independently predictive of delirium in hospitalized patients in Zambia, according to a study published in PLOS ONE.

Findings published in February showed delirium is widespread in patients admitted to the University Teaching Hospital, and the duration of delirium predicted both mortality and disability at six months after discharge.
