Postoperative delirium is a common syndrome that is often mistaken for other psychiatric conditions, particularly depression. Numerous investigators have found a clear convincing association between delirium and increased morbidity and mortality. For this reason, greater attention should be focused on accurate clinical diagnosis. In this article, pre- and postoperative risk factors are reviewed. Lastly, areas demanding immediate further investigation are identified. In particular, outcome studies with particular emphasis on the role of age and prior drug exposure are urgently needed.
术后谵妄是一种常见综合征，常被误诊为其他精神疾病，尤其是抑郁症。众多研究人员已发现谵妄与发病率和死亡率增加之间存在明确且令人信服的关联。因此，应更加关注准确的临床诊断。本文回顾了术前和术后的风险因素。最后，确定了亟需进一步研究的领域。特别是，迫切需要开展重点关注年龄和既往药物暴露作用的结局研究。
