Overview
Delirium worsen prognosis of an illness and results in more health care costs. Focus should be on prevention and early identification of delirium.
Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy
In the USA, the cost of a patient admission with delirium is estimated at between $16k and $64k, suggesting the national burden of delirium may range from $38 bn to $150 bn per year (2008 estimate).[1] In the UK, the cost is estimated as £13k per admission.[2]
Delirium results in,
- Increased health care costs
- Higher incidence of death[3]
- Rise in the duration of the hospital stay by an average of eight days
- Worse physical and cognitive recovery in 6 - 12 months with increased time in institutional care
- One third patient do not achieve complete recovery from delirium, and they tend to have worse prognosis
- Patients may have recollections of the event that they find unpleasant and disturbing.[4]
