Does comprehensive geriatric care reduce the incidence of acute perioperative delirium in elderly patients with hip fractures?
Does comprehensive geriatric care reduce the incidence of acute perioperative delirium in elderly patients with hip fractures?
Comprehensive geriatric care may reduce the incidence of acute perioperative delirium in elderly patients with hip fractures, though high-quality trials are needed to evaluate its effect on delirium severity and duration.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support integration into hip fracture pathways; leaves open effects on severity and duration.
Based on the quality of evidence provided, comprehensive geriatric care may reduce the incidence of perioperative delirium. To obtain evidence regarding the merits of comprehensive geriatric care in reducing severity of delirium and shortening the duration of delirium, there is a need for multicenter RCTs with high methodological quality.
