Predictors of Delirium in Octogenarian Patients Hospitalized for a Hip Fracture

Abstract: Introduction: Since delirium is a major complication that can arise after a patient with a hip fracture has been hospitalized, it is considered to be one of the most common geriatric conditions. Therefore, its prevention and early detection are essential for reducing both the length of the patient’s stay in the hospital and complications during the hospitalization process. Objective: To identify and analyze the predictors for developing delirium in octogenarians who were admitted to hospital for a hip fracture… Show more

“…Hip fracture surgery is traumatic and usually takes a long time, thus the postoperative stress response is obvious. It disrupts the hypothalamus–pituitary–thyroid axis of the patient and affects thyroid function [ 44 ]. Thyroid hormone is an essential substance for maintaining the normal function of the central nervous system and is closely associated with human mental activity [ 45 ].…”

“…Third, patients with dementia before injury were excluded to remove the effect of dementia on delirium. There are many risk factors for postoperative delirium 16,17 , including advanced age, dementia, anemia, dehydration, pain, anesthesia and other factors. However, this is the first study to examine risk factors associated with postoperative delirium among nonagenarians with hip fracture.…”

It disrupts the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis of the patient and affects thyroid function [41]. Thyroid hormone is an essential substance for maintaining the normal function of the central nervous system and is closely related to human mental activity [42].…”
