Effect of Neurologic Conditions on Delirium Duration and Time to ICU Discharge
Baseline DD among critically ill infants and children is linked to longer delirium duration and lower likelihood of ICU discharge. An innovative finding is that delirium mediates this relationship. Although ANCs were loosely correlated with both prolonged delirium duration and decreased likelihood of ICU discharge, the true impact of delirium on these patients warrants further investigation. Finally, a focus on how to mitigate the impact of DD (predisposing risk factor) on ICU delirium and outcomes in critically ill infants and children is paramount.
