Association between body mass index and delirium incidence in critically ill patients: a retrospective cohort study based on the MIMIC-IV Database
Objectives
Delirium is a form of brain dysfunction with high incidence and is associated with many negative outcomes in the intensive care unit. However, few studies have been large enough to reliably examine the associations between body mass index (BMI) and delirium, especially in critically ill patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between BMI and delirium incidence in critically ill patients.
Design
A retrospective cohort study.
Setting
Data were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV V2.0 Database consisting of critically ill participants between 2008 and 2019 at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
Participants
A total of 20 193 patients with BMI and delirium records were enrolled in this study and were divided into six groups.
Primary outcome measure
Delirium incidence.
Results
Generalised linear models and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to estimate the associations between BMI and delirium incidence. A total of 30.81% of the patients (6222 of 20 193) developed delirium in the total cohort. Compared with those in the healthy weight group, the patients in the different groups (underweight, overweight, obesity grade 1, obesity grade 2, obesity grade 3) had different relative risks (RRs): RR=1.10, 95% CI=1.02 to 1.19, p=0.011; RR=0.93, 95% CI=0.88 to 0.97, p=0.003; RR=0.88, 95% CI=0.83 to 0.94, p
Abstract TP167: Hemorrhage Severity Associates With Hospital Acquired Delirium During Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1, Page ATP167-ATP167, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Delirium associates with poor outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), yet its incidence and contributing factors are poorly characterized. We show delirium proportions among older ICH patients and identify factors that associate with hospital-acquired delirium (HAD).Methods:Data from older adult (≥70 years) patients with primary nontraumatic ICH were retrieved from electronic medical records. Delirium was assessed once every 12 hours or per shift using the modified Arousal, Attention, Abbreviated Mental Test-4, Acute change test. Delirium on admission (DOA) was defined as a positive screen within 48 hours of admission and HAD was defined as a positive screen among non-DOA patients. Population differences between HAD and non-HAD patients were assessed using Wilcoxon Rank Sum and Pearson’s Chi Squared tests. Factors associated with HAD were identified via multivariable logistic regression modelling. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are reported.Results:The cohort included 647 patients (median age: 79, interquartile range: [74-85]; 55.0% female) with an ethno-racial distribution of 57.6% White, 16.4% Black, 15.9% Hispanic, 8.5% Asian, and 1.6% Other. The median hemorrhage volume was 8.0 [1.6-24.7] cm3. DOA was present in 327 (50.5%) patients. Among patients without DOA (n=320), 90 (28.1%) developed HAD. In univariate analyses, patients with HAD (vs non-HAD) were significantly older and had lower admission Glasgow Coma Scale scores, larger hemorrhages volumes, more frequent intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and longer lengths of stay. In multivariable modelling, HAD was independently associated with older age (1.05 [1.01-1.10]), top-quartile hemorrhage volume (2.89 [1.08-7.75]), length of stay (1.14 [1.08-1.19]), and IVH (2.03 [1.08-1.19]) (Figure 1).Discussion:Older patients and those with more severe hemorrhage characteristics show greater odds of developing in-hospital delirium.
Abstract WMP57: Systematic Reduction of Neurochecks Overnight Decreases Length of Stay and Post-Stroke Delirium
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1, Page AWMP57-AWMP57, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Post-stroke delirium is common and leads to worse short- and long-term outcomes with higher 28-day modified Rankin Score (mRS), longer length of hospitalization, and increased odds of discharge to a nursing home, development of dementia, and death. Circadian rhythm disturbances have been implicated as a core mechanism in the pathogenesis of delirium as well as a common sequela of stroke. Standard of care for acute stroke patients is to receive q1h-q4h neuro checks overnight to ensure stability and these are typically continued throughout hospitalization; however, there is limited evidence to support extended use and frequent checks have been implicated in increased delirium rate. Our pilot study addresses this problem by proactively holding neuro checks overnight on clinically stable patients with the goal of promoting re-institution of circadian rhythm as a delirium prevention measure.Methods:After at least 24 hours of hospitalization, patients who were felt to be clinically stable had neuro checks discontinued overnight between the hours of 8pm and 4am and efforts were made to bundle care around these times. If patients were felt not to be stable enough to reduce neuro checks, neuro checks were continued at the frequency typical of the usual standard of care. Patients were reassessed daily to determine if they were stable for neuro check decrease. The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) was performed each shift with a positive result indicative of delirium.Results:290 patients over 12 months were included in the analysis (157 pre-intervention, 133 post-intervention). Demographic data did not differ significantly between groups. After the intervention was initiated, CAM positivity decreased from 34% to 23% (p=0.017). LOS decreased from 6.6 days to 5.1 days (p=0.024). mRS and NIHSS during hospitalization did not significantly change (NIHSS p=0.97, mRS p=0.38).Conclusions:After the introduction of the intervention, delirium rate and length of stay decreased significantly. In conclusion, holding neuro checks overnight for clinically stable patients may decrease delirium rate and length of stay, but require more systematic study.
Abstract TP22: Delirium, Infection, and Risk of Dementia in Patients With and Without Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1, Page ATP22-ATP22, February 1, 2024. Background:The increased risk of dementia after delirium and infection might be influenced by cerebral small vessel disease-SVD. We determined associations between hospitalisations with delirium, and with infection on follow-up after TIA/minor stroke and 5-year dementia risk, stratified by moderate/severe SVD on baseline brain imaging.Methods:In a population-based study (n=94 567) of TIA/minor stroke (NIHSS
Does pain optimisation impact delirium outcomes in critically ill patients? A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
Background
Untreated pain is associated with short-term and long-term consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder and insomnia. Side effects of some analgesic medications include dysphoria, hallucinations and delirium. Therefore, both untreated pain and analgesic medications may be risk factors for delirium. Delirium is associated with longer length of stay or cognitive impairment. Our systematic review and meta-analysis will examine the relationship between pain or analgesic medications with delirium occurrence, duration and severity among critically ill adults.
Methods and analysis
MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Central Register of controlled trials and a review of recent conference abstracts will be searched without restriction from inception to 15 May 2023. Study inclusion criteria are: (1) age≥18 years admitted to intensive care; (2) report a measure of pain, analgesic medications and delirium; (3) study design—randomised controlled trial, quasiexperimental designs and observational cohort and case–control studies excluding case reports. Study exclusion criteria are: (1) alcohol withdrawal delirium or delirium tremens; or (2) general anaesthetic emergence delirium; or (3) lab or animal studies. Risk of bias will be assessed with the Risk of Bias V.2 and risk of bias in non-randomised studies tools. There is no language restriction. Occurrence estimates will be transformed using the Freeman-Tukey double arcsine. Point estimates will be pooled using Hartung-Knapp Sidik-Jonkman random effects meta-analysis to estimate a pooled risk ratio. Statistical heterogeneity will be estimated with the I2 statistic. Risk of small study effects will be assessed using funnel plots and Egger test. Studies will be analysed for time-varying and unmeasured confounding using E values.
Ethics and dissemination
Ethical approval is not required as this is an analysis of published aggregated data. We will share our findings at conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.

Effects of liposomal bupivacaine in preoperative fascia iliac block on postoperative pain and delirium in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery: a study protocol for a randomised, parallel controlled prospective clinical study
Introduction
Postoperative delirium (POD) is the most common acute fluctuating mental state change after hip fractures in older adults. Postoperative pain is a Grade A risk factor for POD and is closely related to the prognosis of patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The fascia iliac block has a definite analgesic effect and few side effects, and several studies have reported that it reduces the occurrence of POD in patients undergoing general anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery. Liposomal bupivacaine is a local anaesthetic with a long half-life that significantly reduces the use of opioids and is conducive to patient prognosis and recovery. However, whether regional nerve block analgesia can decrease the occurrence of POD in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery has not been reported.
Methods and analysis
This is a single-blinded, randomised, parallel-controlled prospective clinical study. Participants will be randomly assigned preoperatively to either the liposomal bupivacaine (ie, Exparel) or ropivacaine groups by block randomisation. Then, the occurrence of POD (primary outcome) and postoperative pain (secondary outcome) will be evaluated.
Ethics and dissemination
This research protocol complies with the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) 2013 guidelines and is approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanghai General Hospital (ID 2023–437). The original data are expected to be released in July 2029 on the ResMan original data-sharing platform (IPD-sharing platform) of the China Clinical Trial Registry, which can be viewed on the following website: http://www.medresman.org.cn.

Study protocol for a national observational cohort investigating frailty, delirium and multimorbidity in older surgical patients: the third Sprint National Anaesthesia Project (SNAP 3)
Introduction
Older surgical patients are more likely to be living with frailty and multimorbidity and experience postoperative complications. The management of these conditions in the perioperative pathway is evolving. In order to support objective decision-making for patients, services and national guidance, accurate, contemporary data are needed to describe the impact and associations between frailty, multimorbidity and healthcare processes with patient and service-level outcomes.
Methods and analysis
The study is comprised of an observational cohort study of approximately 7500 patients; an organisational survey of perioperative services and a clinician survey of the unplanned, medical workload generated from older surgical patients. The cohort will consist of patients who are 60 years and older, undergoing a surgical procedure during a 5-day recruitment period in participating UK hospitals. Participants will be assessed for baseline frailty and multimorbidity; postoperative morbidity including delirium; and quality of life. Data linkage will provide additional details about individuals, their admission and mortality.
The study’s primary outcome is length of stay, other outcome measures include incidence of postoperative morbidity and delirium; readmission, mortality and quality of life. The cohort’s incidence of frailty, multimorbidity and delirium will be estimated using 95% CIs. Their relationships with outcome measures will be examined using unadjusted and adjusted multilevel regression analyses. Choice of covariates in the adjusted models will be prespecified, based on directed acyclic graphs.
A parallel study is planned to take place in Australia in 2022.
Ethics and dissemination
The study has received approval from the Scotland A Research Ethics Committee and Wales Research Ethics Committee 7.
This work hopes to influence the development of services and guidelines. We will publish our findings in peer-reviewed journals and provide summary documents to our participants, sites, healthcare policy-makers and the public.

Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to prevent delirium after cardiac surgery: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction
Delirium is a syndrome characterised by a disturbance in attention, awareness and cognition as a result of another physical condition. It occurs in up to 50% of patients after cardiac surgery and is associated with increased mortality, prolonged intensive care and hospital stay and long-term cognitive dysfunction. Identifying effective preventive interventions is important. We will therefore conduct a systematic review to identify all randomised controlled studies that have tested a pharmacological or non-pharmacological intervention to prevent delirium.
Methods and analysis
We will search electronic databases (CDSR (Reviews), CENTRAL (Trials), MEDLINE Ovid, Embase Ovid, PsycINFO Ovid) as well as trial registers (clinicaltrials.gov and ISCRTN) for randomised controlled trials of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions designed to prevent delirium after cardiac surgery in adults. Screening of search results and data extraction from included articles will be performed by two independent reviewers using Rayyan. The primary outcome will be the incidence of delirium. Secondary outcomes include: duration of postoperative delirium, all-cause mortality, length of postoperative hospital and intensive care stay, postoperative neurological complications other than delirium, health-related quality of life and intervention-specific adverse events. Studies will be assessed for risk of bias using the Cochrane RoB2 tool. A narrative synthesis of all included studies will be presented and meta-analysis (if appropriate network meta-analysis) will be undertaken where there are sufficient studies (three or more) for pooling results. Results will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement.
Ethics and dissemination
No ethical approval is required. This review will be disseminated via peer-reviewed manuscript and conferences.

Effect of percutaneous cerebral oximetry-guided anaesthetic management on postoperative delirium in older adults undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: study protocol for a single-centre prospective randomised controlled trial in a tertiary academic hospital in China
Introduction
Postoperative delirium is a prominent and clinically important complication in older adults after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, resulting in prolonged hospital stay, long-term cognitive impairment and increased morbidity and mortality. Many studies have shown that cerebral desaturation is associated with increased risk of postoperative delirium during on-pump cardiac surgery. However, few studies have focused on the effect of optimising regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) on postoperative delirium during off-pump CABG. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether intraoperative anaesthetic management based on percutaneous cerebral oximetry monitoring decreases the incidence of postoperative delirium in older adults undergoing off-pump CABG.
Methods
This single-centre randomised controlled trial will randomly assign 200 patients to the intervention group or the control group at a ratio of 1:1. The patients in the intervention group will be observed by percutaneous cerebral oximetry monitoring that the desaturation (a drop of more than 20% from baseline value or rSO2 less than 55% for >60 consecutive seconds at either probe) during the procedure triggered the intervention strategies, while the cerebral oximetry data of the control group will be hidden from the clinical team and patients will be anaesthetised by the usual anaesthetic management. The primary outcome will be the incidence of postoperative delirium during the first 7 days after off-pump CABG. Delirium will be comprehensively evaluated by the combination of the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale and the Confusion Assessment Method for the intensive care unit. The secondary outcomes will include the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury and myocardial infarction during the hospital stay, as well as the intensive care unit and hospital length of stay.
Ethics and dissemination
This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital (No 2022–1824). Written informed consent will be obtained from each patient or their legal representatives before enrolment. The results of this trial will be published in an international peer-reviewed scientific journal.

The risk factors for and the frequency and outcomes of subsyndromal delirium among patients who have undergone cardiac surgery: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction
Several key symptoms must be present for the accurate diagnosis of patients with postoperative cardiac delirium. Some patients present with symptoms of delirium but do not meet the diagnostic criteria for delirium; such individuals are considered to have having subsyndromal delirium (SSD). SSD is associated with misdiagnosis and poor outcomes. However, to date, no systematic review (SR) has examined the frequency of, risk factors for, and outcomes of SSD among adults who have undergone cardiac surgery.
Methods and analysis
The aim of this SR is to identify those studies that have explored SSD after cardiac surgery. MeSH and free entry terms associated with “subsyndromal delirium” and “subclinical delirium” will be used to search for relevant studies. The PubMed, Web of Science, OVID, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, VIP database and SinoMed will be searched from inception to the date of retrieval without any restrictions. The primary outcomes will be the frequency of SSD, the risk factors for SSD, and the outcomes of SSD. Analyses will be performed using STATA V.16.0, and descriptive analyses will be performed if the data are not suitable for meta-analysis (ie, data with significant heterogeneity or from different comparisons).
Ethics and dissemination
The SR will examine the frequency of, risk factors for and outcomes of SSD in adults who have undergone cardiac surgery. The results will provide guidance for the identification of knowledge gaps in this field, and areas for further research will be highlighted. The review protocol will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals for dissemination of the findings. Individual patient data will not be included in this protocol, so ethical approval will not be needed.

Abstract 16410: Burden of Delirium on Mortality and Healthcare Resources Utilization in Geriatric Patients Hospitalized for Acute Coronary Syndrome: 5-years Retrospective Cohort Study
Circulation, Volume 148, Issue Suppl_1, Page A16410-A16410, November 6, 2023. Introduction:Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and delirium are frequently observed in the geriatric population. Nevertheless, the precise impact of delirium on ACS outcomes and resource utilization remains inadequately elucidated.Hypothesis:We aim to investigate the burden of delirium on the outcomes of geriatric patients admitted for management of ACS.Methods:This is an analysis of the National Inpatient Sample of the years 2016 to 2020. We identified patients >= 65 years old who were admitted with a principal diagnosis of ACS. Outcome studied included mortality difference, and length of stay (LOS) and cost of care (COC) as indicatives of healthcare resources utilization. Regression analysis was performed to compare those that developed delirium vs. those that did not while adjusting for baseline characteristics and comorbiditiesResults:Out of 1,845,379 elderly patients admitted for ACS, 1.3% (24,090 patients) developed delirium. The delirium group did not experience higher rates of in-hospital mortality compared to the non-delirium group (aOR 1.022, p=0.69, 95% CI 0.916-1.140). However, elderly ACS patients with delirium had a longer length of stay (aMD 5.60 days, 95% CI 5.26-5.95, p
Non-pharmacological interventions to prevent and manage delirium in critically ill children in neonatal and paediatric intensive care units (NICU/PICU): a scoping review protocol
Introduction
Delirium is one of the most common forms of acute cerebral dysfunction in critically ill children leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Prevention, identification and management of delirium is an important part of paediatric and neonatological intensive care. This scoping review aims to identify and map evidence on non-pharmacological interventions for paediatric delirium prevention and management in paediatric and neonatal intensive care settings.
Methods and analysis
This scoping review will be conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Searches will be performed in the databases Medline (via PubMed), CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Ovid (Journals), EMBASE and Web of Science (01/2000–current). Two reviewers will independently review retrieved studies, and relevant information will be extracted using data extraction forms. The results will be presented in tabular format and accompanied by a narrative summary.
Inclusion criteria
The review will include references that describe or evaluate non-pharmacological interventions to prevent or manage paediatric delirium. Conference abstracts, editorials, opinion papers and grey literature will be excluded.
Ethics and dissemination
Due to the nature of research involving humans or unpublished secondary data, approval of an ethics committee are not required. The dissemination of findings is planned via professional networks and publication in an open-access scientific journal.
