Research progress on risk factors of delirium in burn patients: A narrative review
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022 Delirium, an acute brain dysfunction, is a common and serious complication in burn patients. The occurrence of delirium increases the difficulty of patient treatment, is associated with various adverse outcomes, and increases the burden on the patient’s ...

Identifying Symptoms of Delirium from Clinical Narratives Using Natural Language Processing [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Delirium is an acute decline or fluctuation in attention, awareness, or other cognitive function that can lead to serious adverse outcomes. Despite the severe outcomes, delirium is frequently unrecognized and uncoded in patients' electronic health records (EHRs) due to its transient and diverse nature.

Obstructive sleep apnea as an independent predictor of postoperative delirium and pain: Protocol for an observational study of a surgical cohort [version 2; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
, 2018 Introduction: Postoperative delirium and pain are common complications in adults, and are difficult both to prevent and treat. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in surgical patients, and has been suggested to be a risk factor for postoperative ...

Unsupervised Learning to Subphenotype Delirium Patients from Electronic Health Records [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Delirium is a common acute onset brain dysfunction in the emergency setting and is associated with higher mortality. It is difficult to detect and monitor since its presentations and risk factors can be different depending on the underlying medical condition of patients.

PLoS ONE, 2021 PurposeDelirium is an underdiagnosed complication on intensive care units (ICU). We hypothesized that a score-based delirium detection using the Nudesc score identifies more patients compared to a traditional diagnosis of delirium by ICU physicians ...

Causal Discovery on the Effect of Antipsychotic Drugs on Delirium Patients in the ICU using Large EHR Dataset [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Delirium occurs in about 80% cases in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and is associated with a longer hospital stay, increased mortality and other related issues. Delirium does not have any biomarker-based diagnosis and is commonly treated with antipsychotic drugs (APD).

Predicting risk of delirium from ambient noise and light information in the ICU [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Existing Intensive Care Unit (ICU) delirium prediction models do not consider environmental factors despite strong evidence of their influence on delirium. This study reports the first deep-learning based delirium prediction model for ICU patients using only ambient noise and light information. Ambient light and noise intensities were measured from ICU
