Preventing Delirium in Older Adults with Recent Hip Fracture Through Multidisciplinary Geriatric Consultation

Abstract

Delirium episodes and cognitive decline during hospitalization were found to be common in older adults with hip fracture, as expected, but an IGCT intervention reduced the incidence of these adverse outcomes. In participants who developed delirium, a geriatric consultation had no effect on severity or duration of the delirium episode.
