AEM Early Access 74: Head Computed Tomography Findings in Geriatric Emergency Department Patients with Delirium, Altered Mental Status, and Confusion: A Systematic Review
Manage episode 365046102 series 1453962
Delirium, altered mental status or confusion among older adults are common presentations to the emergency department (ED). We discuss this new AEM paper with author Dr. Shan Liu, whose team aimed to report the proportion of older ED patients presenting with delirium who have acute abnormal findings on head imaging. We also assessed whether anticoagulation, neurological deficits, trauma or headache were associated with head imaging abnormalities in these patients.
