Incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of delirium in patients with noninvasive ventilation: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Factors that may increase the risk for delirium and the firm knowledge around mechanism for delirium in noninvasive ventilation (NIV) patients is lacking. We investigated the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of delirium in NIV patients.

Methods

A prospective observational study was performed in an intensive care unit (ICU) of a teaching hospital. Patients in whom NIV was used as a first-line intervention were enrolled. During NIV intervention, delirium was screened using the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU each day. The association between delirium and poor outcomes (e.g., NIV failure, ICU and hospital mortality) was investigated using forward stepwise multivariate logistic regression analyses.

Results

We enrolled 1083 patients. Of these, 19
