⁦Frederick Graham⁩ explains that pain is a good target for #delirium treatment #ido24

Steven Mathern David Ward The BMJ Emily Gordon Shlomo Berkovsky There’s good evidence now that we can do a lot to (i) prevent delirium and (ii) reduce its severity. Multicomponent interventions reduce delirium incidence by 40%. Nutrition & hydration; mobilisation; sleep; pain; social interaction; vision & hearing…. Just sensible care really.

Delirium is common, dangerous and preventable in many cases. There are no excuses not to act.
David Ward Prof Ruth E Hubbard

UQ researchers have found older patients who experience #delirium are 3 x more likely to develop #dementia

Prof Ruth Hubbard from UQ’s CHSR said the study also found that every episode of delirium increased the chance of developing dementia by 20%

Congrats david carroll!! It sounds like an extremely worthwhile project.

Landmark study by the AFN/UQ News/Macquarie University links delirium and dementia. Our analysis of over 600k patients in NSW reveals patients with delirium had a 39% higher risk of death and 3x the risk of dementia.

Findings of new study suggest delirium was a strong risk factor for death and incident dementia among older adult patients.

The clinical implications of delirium as a potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia are substantial, say researchers

Improving dementia care in hospital - 'Clinically significant reductions in BPSD and psychotropic administration were associated with SCU care relative to standard ward care' Frederick Graham Australian Frailty Network UQ Centre for Health Services Research Prof Ruth E Hubbard

Older people living with dementia deserve to be cared for in the right hospital environment, by health care professionals with the right training. Proud to be involved in this important study led by Frederick Graham and Emily Gordon Australian Frailty Network
