The perceptions of European geriatricians on the co-occurrence and links between dementia, delirium and frailty
Geriatricians and experienced geriatric trainees across Europe gave varied responses to questions about delirium, dementia and frailty prevalence, co-occurrence and consequences. This indicates a need for the performance and wide dissemination of robust, prospective research examining all three conditions in older hospital cohorts. We suggest a merging of selective delirium-frailty and dementia-delirium interests to the dementia-delirium-frailty triumvirate.
