Sex specific differences in short-term mortality after ICU-delirium
Our study suggests that women with ICU-delirium have a significantly higher risk of short-term mortality than men. Acknowledging the limitations inherent to observational studies with potential for residual confounding, further research is needed to understand the biological and clinical factors driving this disparity and to inform sex-specific interventions for ICU-delirium.
