How do predisposing factors differ between delirium motor subtypes? A systematic review and meta-analysis

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Background

Delirium is a common neurocognitive disorder in hospitalised older adults with vast negative consequences. The predominant method of subtyping delirium is by motor activity profile into hypoactive, hyperactive and mixed groups.

Objective

This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated how predisposing factors differ between delirium motor subtypes.

Methods

Databases (Medline, PsycINFO, Embase) were systematically searched for studies reporting predisposing factors (prior to delirium) for delirium motor subtypes. A total of 61 studies met inclusion criteria (N = 14,407, mean age 73.63 years). Random-effects meta-analyses synthesised differences between delirium motor subtypes relative to 22 factors.

Results

Hypoactive cases were
