The Effect of an Early Cognitive Intervention on Global Cognition in Older Hospitalized Adults With Delirium

Key Points

• To evaluate the impact of early cognitive interventions on cognitive functions in older adults with delirium during hospitalization.
• Conducted a trial with older adults hospitalized due to delirium.
• Applied an early cognitive intervention program.
• Assessed global cognition at 4 months post-intervention.
• No significant improvement in global cognition was observed after the intervention.
• Findings suggest limited benefits of cognitive interventions for delirious patients.
