Individual Pharmacotherapy Management (IPM) - I: A group-matched retrospective controlled clinical study on prevention of complicating delirium in the elderly trauma patients and identification of associated factors
Delirium is one of the most frequent complications in hospitalized elderly patients with additional costs such as prolongation of hospital stays and institutionalization, with risk of reduced functional recovery, longterm cognitive impairment, and increased morbidity and mortality. We analyzed the effect of individual pharmaco‑ therapy management (IPM) in the University Hospital Halle in geriatric trauma patients on complicating delirium and aimed to identify associated factors.
