Preventive effects of early mobilisation on delirium incidence in critically ill patients: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate whether early mobilisation can reduce the incidence of delirium in critically ill patients and to assess the methodological quality of published studies.

Methods

Three electronic databases, PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library, were searched for relevant studies published up to 2 March 2024. Articles were screened independently by two reviewers, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software with a random-effects model.
