Delirium in Hospitalized Older Persons: Outcomes and Predictors

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was fourfold: to determine the rate of delirium among hospitalized older persons, to contrast the clinical outcomes of patients with and without delirium, to identify clinical predictors of delirium, and to validate the predictive model in an independent sample of patients.
