A Review of Biomarkers in Delirium Superimposed on Dementia (DSD) and Their Clinical Application to Personalized Treatment and Management.

ABSTRACT: Delirium superimposed on dementia (DSD) occurs when patients with pre-existing dementia develop delirium. This complication causes patients to become impaired, posing safety concerns for both hospital staff and patients. Furthermore, there is an increased risk of worsening functional disability and death. Despite medical advances, DSD provides both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to providers. Identifying at-risk patients and providing personalized medicine and patient care can decrease disease burden in a time-efficient manner. This review delves into bioinformatics-based studies of DSD in order to design and implement a personalized medicine-based approach. Our findings suggest alternative medical treatment methods based on gene-gene interactions, gene-microRNA (miRNA) interactions
