In many patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) there is a delay between the onset of symptoms and admission to hospital. An important cause for the delay is an initially erroneous diagnosis. The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of acute confusional state (ACS) as a presenting
This case presents a discussion of a 92-year-old man with multiple comorbidities, who presents with a subtrochanteric fracture. His course is complicated by large volume blood loss intraoperatively, requiring intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring postoperatively. His course is also complicated by
Delirium is a common and serious syndrome in elderly patients. The hypoactive type of delirium is known to have different characteristics, but further studies are needed to define the specificities of these characteristics. Our study aims at finding specific risk factors, especially Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a cumbersome diagnosis to make in vivo, particularly because of its elusive nature and ability to be a relatively nonspecific 'great mimicker'. Although it frequently has skin manifestations, it often escapes diagnosis due to its angiotrophism and
Delirium symptoms are associated with later worse functional outcomes and long-term cognitive impairments, but the neuroanatomical basis for delirium symptoms in patients with acute brain injury is currently uncertain. We tested the hypothesis that hematoma location is predictive of delirium
A 68-year-old woman presented with a sudden severe headache, vomiting, and disturbed consciousness. She was admitted to the emergency room. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a hemorrhage in the right temporal lobe. Angiography demonstrated a ruptured aneurysm in the right middle cerebral artery
Delirium is a complex syndrome characterised by disturbances in attention and awareness, associated with alterations in cognitive functions, which can emerge in a time frame of hours or days and tend to fluctuate in severity over time. Delirium is a clinical manifestation of the Delirium is associated with poor outcomes among critically ill patients. However, it is not well characterized among patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (IS and HS). We provide the population-level frequency of in-hospital delirium and assess its association with in-hospital OBJECTIVE
To determine whether delirium during the hospital stay predicted health-related quality of life (HRQOL) at 1 year after injury in trauma intensive care unit (ICU) survivors without intracranial hemorrhage, and to examine the association between depressive and posttraumatic stress disorder
BACKGROUND
Delirium may be a presenting feature in acute subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for delirium in acute SAH and to analyse the relation between delirium and location and amount of haematic densities and hydrocephalus.
METHODS
We
A 64-year-old man with TBI was admitted to our institute. In following days, he showed unusual behavior of agitation, restlessness, emotional instability and inattention. Post-traumatic delirium was tentatively diagnosed, and donepezil was given for his cognitive dysfunction. Although there was
Poststroke delirium may be underdiagnosed due to the challenges of disentangling delirium symptoms from underlying neurologic deficits. We aimed to determine the prevalence of individual delirium features and the frequency with which they could not be assessed in patients with Hyperactive delirium (agitation) is a common complication in patients on intensive care units and can be assessed by the Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) in principle. However, the role of agitation in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is poorly understood. We
Delirium predicts higher long-term cognitive morbidity. We previously identified a cohort of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and delirium and found worse outcomes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the domain of cognitive function.
We tested the hypothesis that agitation
Objective: To determine the impact of delirium on withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the context of established predictors of poor outcome, using data from an institutional ICH
