Our study confirmed an important increase of in-hospital mortality in older subjects with dementia. Despite a different comorbidity, the conditions associated with in-hospital mortality were substantially the same in patients with or without dementia. Heart failure, pneumonia, and kidney disease identified a high risk of in-hospital mortality among subjects with dementia.
