Delirium Leads to Poor In-Hospital and 90-Day Outcomes Among Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke With and Without Intravenous Thrombolysis or Intraarterial Therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Delirium experienced poststroke is known to be associated with poor prognosis; however, the outcomes and functional consequences among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing intravenous thrombolysis (intravenous tissue plasminogen activator) or intraarterial therapy are not well characterized.

Methods

Using data from 7 stroke centers with standardized delirium screening protocols, delirium was determined by a positive modified "Arousal, Attention, Abbreviated Mental-Test, Acute Change Test" or Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit screen including diagnosis codes. Multivariable models were fit to estimate likelihoods of in-hospital mortality, unfavorable discharge disposition, and longer length of stay among delirious patients with
