Summary
Delirium is an acute disturbance of attention and awareness that can be associated with poor prognosis, including dependence and death.[1,2] Delirium is exceedingly common in critically ill patients across many different contexts, and can be considered a state of acute organ dysfunction or failure. Neuroprognostication in the setting of delirium is challenging due to the multifactorial nature of the syndrome and requires careful consideration of the various ways in which delirium manifests.
