Understanding terminology of delirium and long-term cognitive impairment in critically ill patients

Abstract: Keywords: delirium long-term cognitive impairment terminology critical careDelirium, an acute brain dysfunction, frequently affects intensive care unit (ICU) patients during the course of a critical illness. Besides the acute morbidities, ICU survivors often experience longterm sequelae in the form of cognitive impairment (LTCI-CI). Though delirium and LTCI-CI are associated with adverse outcomes, little is known on the terminology used to define these acute and chronic co-morbidities. The use of a correct ter… Show more

“…ICU delirium is defined as an altered state of consciousness featuring disordered attention, impaired cognition, altered psychomotor activity (increased or decreased) and disorder of the sleep-wake cycle (Borthwick et al 2006, Tait 2016. It has an acute onset and is thought to be reversible (Borthwick et al 2006), although Morandi et al (2012) state that long-term cognitive impairment is common after diagnosis of ICU delirium. Delirium is associated with poorer outcomes, higher costs and increased mortality (Chevrolet and Jolliet 2007; The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE] 2010).…”

“…Incidence varies widely but it is thought to affect from 18% to 82% of critically ill patients (Ely et al 2004a;Morandi et al 2012). There are three subtypes: hyperactive, characterised by hallucinations and agitation; hypoactive, where the patient is withdrawn and inattentive; and mixed delirium, which fluctuates between the two (Elliott 2014).…”

“…This disorder usually manifests as a decline in memory, attention, language ability and/or social interaction 2,4,5 , and severe POCD can lead to changes in a patient's personality and social behavior 3,5,6 . Although the causes of POCD remain unclear, multiple diverse contributing factors have been suggested, including older age, which has been identified as an independent risk factor for developing POCD 3,7,8 .…”
