-==Prevalence==
-The prevalence of delirium of the overall population is unknown.<ref name=DSMV>{{cite book | title = Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders : DSM-5 | publisher = American Psychiatric Association | location = Washington, D.C | year = 2013 | isbn = 0890425558 }}</ref>
-==Epidemiology and Demographics==
-* 30% of older patients who are hospitalized
-* 10-20% of all hospitalized adults
-* 25% of hospitalized cancer patients
-* 30%–40% of hospitalized [[AIDS]] patients
-* Up to 80% of patients with terminal illnesses develop delirium near death.
-* Increased incidence is observed in the patients who have just had surgery, particularly cardiotomy, hip surgery, or a transplant, burns, dialysis, or central nervous system lesions.<ref>{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = http://psychiatryonline.org/content.aspx?bookID=28&sectionID=1663978 | url = http://psychiatryonline.org/content.aspx?bookID=28&sectionID=1663978 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = }}</ref>
-===Delirium in the ICU===
-* In intensive care units stay, incidence of delirium can be up to 80%
-* Delirium is more likely to be missed in the ICU. Physician detection rate is poor, reported sensitivity is 29%
-* More common in the emergency departments; general medical, elderly care, surgical, and oncology wards; intensive care units; and in the community,  residential and nursing homes.<ref>{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = What are the opportunities f...

-===Gediatric Population===
-* 50% of postoperative gediatric population; especially after hip fracture and vascular surgery
-* Delirium is the most common complication of hospital admission for older people.<ref>{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = Delirium in elderly people. [Lancet. 2013] - PubMed - NCBI | url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23992774 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate }}</ref>
-===Delirium in the Community Settings===
-Exact data in the primary health care settings is not known.  Shorter hospital stays, and increasing number of day surgeries may have resulted in to increased delirium cases in the community.  Less than 50 percent inpatient population recovers fully at the time of discharge.<ref>{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = ABC of psychological medicine: Delirium | url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1124165/ | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = }}</ref>
