Flowchart of inclusion and follow-up in the study.
A total of 1,409 admissions from 2009 to 2015 were included in the study, with 657 cases of delirium. Hypoactive delirium was identified in 348 admissions, followed by mixed delirium (197) and hyperactive delirium (112). Missing data represented only a minor proportion of the sample and was excluded from the analysis.
