Assessing Delirium Vulnerability in Patients Referred to Consultation‐Liaison Psychiatry Service: A Cross‐Sectional Survey
The results of our study demonstrate that advanced age, lower educational attainment, widowhood, and the presence of multiple comorbidities are significant risk factors for delirium among hospitalized patients. Furthermore, disturbances in laboratory parameters-excluding thyroid dysfunction and positive urine toxicology-are strongly associated with increased delirium risk. Notably, the majority of patients experiencing delirium had no prior history of active substance use or underlying dementia, as evidenced by our findings.
