“…18,23 Studies show that advanced age is one of the factors for the occurrence of delirium, as well as increased mortality from this cause, 19 which is in agreement with the findings of our study, where the mean age was over 65 years. The increase in age in the general population and the number of diseases related to this increase 14 may lead to an increase in the incidence of delirium, since chronic organic diseases, 13 such as HBP, are risk factors. Metabolic and hydroelectrolytic alterations, although not observed in our study, are reported in the literature as important risk factors for elderly patients suffering from delirium, 24 with the most reported being hypo or hyperglycemia, hypo or hypernatremia, as well as hypo or hypercalcemia.…”

“…Considering that knee and hip arthroplasty procedures, due to the use of prostheses, and delirium are clinical situations that burden health services, 13 associated with the fact that the restrictions of economic resources lead to a greater emphasis on cost-effectiveness, 25,26 we advocate the need for further studies on the incidence and epidemiology of delirium in this population.…”
