Delirium is caused by variety of causes but likelihood of having delirium depends on various risk factors.  
Common risk factors associated with [[delirium]] include [[older]] age, [[dementia]], [[hypertension]], [[emergency]] [[surgery]] or [[trauma]] before [[ICU]] admission, [[mechanical ventilation]], [[metabolic acidosis]], [[delirium]] on the prior day , [[coma]].
