Background and Aims:

To study the long term effects of delirium in elderly hip-surgery patients on cognitive mortality.

Methods:

This is a prospective study. Medical school-affiliated general hospital in Alkmaar, The Netherlands. Participants (n=603) from the €Haloperidol Prophylaxis for Elderly Hip-Surgery Patients at Risk for Delirium. A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study (Kalisvaart et al., 2005). Patients with and without post-operative delirium were followed for 2 years. Mortality risk associated with delirium was estimated using a Cox proportional hazards regression model; the outcome was time to death.

Results:

A total of 75/603 patients (12.4%) died during the study period (table 1). Incidence of delirium was higher in patients who died compared with those who survived (HR 2.16, CI 1.30-3.58). They were more often at risk for delirium as indicated by higher rates of cognitive impairment and visual impairment.

Conclusion:

Delirium after hip-surgery and delirium risk factors are associated with long-term follow-up mortality.
