Incidence and prognostic impact of delirium after cardiac arrest: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Delirium affects roughly two in five ICU survivors after ROSC and its measured incidence depends strongly on how and when it is assessed. Standardizing to validated tools and a common ICU window could narrow heterogeneity and improve comparability. These results support routine delirium screening and prevention as core elements of post-arrest care.
