Falls are a significant health risk for older adults, but a lesser-known factor—delirium—may make them even more dangerous. bgs.org.uk/the-hidden-lin… Charlotte Eost-Telling iDelirium #WDAD2025

The Admiral Nursing service at UHL is back! Hi my name is Kayleanne and I am the Admiral Nurse for UHL, this week I am relaunching the already well established service here and hoping to do it justice! Leicester's Hospitals Wendy Charlotte Leeds Sarah Stoneley

#Delirium affects 66.9% of hospitalised #Parkinson's disease patients versus 38.7% of controls. Outcomes of delirium in PD: ⬆️ mortality risk (HR=3.3) ⬆️ institutionalization (OR=10.7) ⬆️ dementia (OR=6.1) at 12 months post-discharge

Persistent #delirium can be defined as delirium lasting 5+ days. It's not uncommon for undiagnosed or mislabeled persistent delirium to lead to inappropriate care home admission - and for the patient to recover weeks later, when it can be too late.

Human kindness can significantly reduce the distress associated with #delirium. Eye contact, gentle words, reassurance, explanation of context - simple and quick to do, and very effective in improving the experience of the delirious patient. Build this into every interaction.

#Delirium occurs more than 1 in 3 of patients in the last days of life. Recognition matters—it allows us to address reversible causes while managing symptoms compassionately when reversal isn't possible.
