Abstract

Delirium is a common, underdiagnosed neuropsychiatric syndrome in older adults, associated with high mortality and functional decline. Given its multifactorial nature and overlap with frailty, radiological markers may improve risk stratification in the emergency department (ED). We conducted a retrospective study on a small sample of 30 patients diagnosed with delirium in the emergency department who had recently undergone brain, thoracic, or abdominal CT scans for unrelated clinical indications. Using post-processing software, we analyzed radiological markers, including coronary artery calcifications (to estimate vascular age), cerebral atrophy (via the Global Cortical Atrophy scale), and cachexia (based on abdominal fat and psoas muscle volumetry). : Five domains were identified as significant predictors of 12-month mortality in univariate Cox regression: vascular age, delirium etiology, cerebral atrophy, delirium subtype (hyperactive vs. hypoactive), and cachexia. Based on these domains, we developed an exploratory 10-point delirium score. This score demonstrated acceptable diagnostic accuracy for mortality prediction (sensitivity 0.93, specificity 0.73, positive predictive value 0.77, negative predictive value 0.91) in this limited cohort. While preliminary and based on a small, retrospective sample of 30 patients, this multidimensional approach integrating clinical and radiological data may help improve risk stratification in elderly patients with delirium. Radiological phenotyping, particularly in terms of vascular aging and sarcopenia/cachexia, offers objective insights into patient frailty and could inform more personalized treatment pathways from the ED to safe discharge home, pending further validation.

摘要

谵妄是老年人中一种常见但诊断不足的神经精神综合征,与高死亡率和功能衰退相关。鉴于其多因素性质以及与衰弱的重叠,放射学标志物可能会改善急诊科(ED)的风险分层。我们对一小群30例在急诊科被诊断为谵妄的患者进行了回顾性研究,这些患者近期因无关的临床指征接受了脑部、胸部或腹部CT扫描。使用后处理软件,我们分析了放射学标志物,包括冠状动脉钙化(以估计血管年龄)、脑萎缩(通过全球皮质萎缩量表)和恶病质(基于腹部脂肪和腰大肌容积测定)。在单变量Cox回归中,五个领域被确定为12个月死亡率的显著预测因素:血管年龄、谵妄病因、脑萎缩、谵妄亚型(多动型与少动型)和恶病质。基于这些领域,我们制定了一个探索性的10分谵妄评分。在这个有限的队列中,该评分在死亡率预测方面显示出可接受的诊断准确性(敏感性0.93,特异性0.73,阳性预测值0.77,阴性预测值0.91)。虽然这是初步的且基于30例患者的小样本回顾性研究,但这种整合临床和放射学数据的多维度方法可能有助于改善老年谵妄患者的风险分层。放射学表型分析,特别是在血管老化和肌肉减少症/恶病质方面,为患者衰弱提供了客观见解,并可为从急诊科到安全出院回家的更个性化治疗路径提供参考,有待进一步验证。
