Single-channel qEEG characteristics distinguish delirium from no delirium, but not postoperative from non-postoperative delirium

CONCLUSIONS: RF classification was able to discriminate delirium from no delirium with reasonable accuracy, while also identifying new delirium qEEG markers like autocorrelation and theta peak frequency. RF classification could not distinguish postoperative from non-postoperative delirium.SIGNIFICANCE: Single-channel EEG differentiates between delirium and no delirium with reasonable accuracy. We found no distinct EEG profile for postoperative delirium, which may suggest that delirium is one entity, whether it develops postoperatively or not.PMID:38460221 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.01.009
