Delirium as a Precursor to Dementia in Elderly Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
<b>Conclusions:</b> Our findings confirm a strong association between delirium and an increased risk of dementia in elderly (≥65 years) T2DM patients, suggesting a potential causal link. Effective delirium management in elderly T2DM patients is imperative to mitigate dementia risk. These findings advocate for targeted interventions to alleviate the substantial cognitive burden in this vulnerable population.
