Delirium in hospitalized elderly patients is common and often unrecognized (especially the hypoactive type), and can lead to serious complications. A systematic program can improve the rate of recognition of this problem and decrease its incidence, and is cost-effective.
住院老年患者的谵妄很常见，且常常未被识别（尤其是活动减退型），并可能导致严重并发症。一个系统性方案可以提高对该问题的识别率并降低其发生率，而且具有成本效益。
