The impact of psychomotor subtypes and duration of delirium on 6‐month mortality in hip‐fractured elderly patients

Abstract

Hyperactive delirium was the most common POD psychomotor subtype, but hypoactive and mixed POD were associated with 6-month mortality risk. Moreover, the risk of death 6 months after surgery increased for both subgroups (hypoactive and mixed) with increasing duration of POD.
