Review Meta AnalysisThe risk factors for postoperative delirium in adult patients after hip fracture surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is the most common complication in patients after hip fracture surgery, and the incidence of POD is associated with mortality and disability in patients following hip fracture surgery. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the individual as well as anesthetic and operative risk factors associated with the POD in adult patients after hip fracture surgery. ⋯ Patients possessed above risk factors might be high-risk patients. Clinician should maintain keen vigilance at those patients.
