Overview
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 is linked to prolonged hospital stay, longer periods of cognitive impairment, increased health care costs and higher incidence of death.[3]
