Delirium in older adults after percutaneous coronary intervention: Prevalence, risks, and clinical phenotypes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In-hospital delirium is more common among older adults and is associated with increased mortality and adverse health-related outcomes. We aim to establish the contemporary prevalence of delirium among older adults undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the impact of delirium on in-hospital complications.
