“…The knowledge and the interest on delirium in critically ill patients have progressively increased over the course of the last few years. 33,35 Nonetheless, there is still a lack of homogeneity in the use of terminology especially by physicians and health-care personnel who do not specialise in neuropsychiatric disciplines and for different background training and categorisation system. In a previous international survey, 33 we found that two terms are very consistently used when referring to acute brain dysfunction in critically ill patients: 100% of the selected languages use the term 'coma' or 'koma' to describe patients unresponsive to verbal and/or physical stimuli, and 100% use delirium tremens to define delirium due to alcohol withdrawal.…”

In the hospital, delirium has been associated with a 10-fold increased risk for death and with a 3-to 5-fold increased N o n -c o m m e r c i a l u s e o n l y risk for nosocomial complications, prolonged length of stay, and greater need for nursing home placement after discharge.…”
