Delirium and correlates of delirium among newly admitted elderly patients: a cross-sectional study in a Saudi general hospital

CONCLUSIONS: Delirium was common and frequently not recognized in elderly patients admitted to the hospital. Administration of the CAM was very helpful in identifying delirium at admission. LIMITATIONS:The main limitation of our study was the relatively small number of patients which might have limited the power to detect some associations.
