By creating a regression model for delirium prediction, clinicians may be able to create a checklist to identify patients at risk of developing delirium. This checklist could assist in monitoring patients at higher risk for developing delirium, allowing measures to be implemented for preventing the incidence or reducing the severity of delirium. The use of benzodiazepines should also be avoided if possible, as they are seen to have a significant association with the incidence of delirium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
