Description
Delirium, altered mental status or confusion among older adults are common presentations to the emergency department (ED). We discuss this new AEM paper with author Dr. Shan Liu, whose team aimed to report the proportion of older ED patients presenting with delirium who have acute abnormal findings on head imaging. We also assessed whether anticoagulation, neurological deficits, trauma or headache were associated with head imaging abnormalities in these patients.
