Poorer outcomes in patients with early postoperative delirium: 120-day follow-up of the Delirium Reduction by Analgesia Management in Hip Fracture (DRAM-HF) study.

In this cohort, while the DRAM-HF bundle of care did not influence 120-day outcomes, patients who experienced POD had poorer clinical outcomes 120-day postfracture. Given that delirium was associated with death, RACF residence and frailty, models of care which have the potential to reduce POD may have benefits beyond the acute admission, and further investigation is needed.
