Delirium Subtypes and Associated Characteristics in Older Patients With Exacerbation of Chronic Conditions.

Hypoactive delirium seems to affect more vulnerable patients and to be associated with worse outcomes. More research on the different delirium subtypes could help develop better preventive and management strategies. PMID: 30131288 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
