Association of Nutritional Status with New-Onset Delirium in Elderly, Acute Care, Orthopaedic Trauma Patients: A Single-Center Observational Study
Journal of orthopaedic trauma(2022)
摘要
Objective: To determine whether nutritional status at hospital admission is independently associated with new-onset delirium (NOD) in elderly, orthopaedic trauma patients. Design: Single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study. Setting: Data from patients at a large teaching hospital in Boston, MA, were analyzed. Patients: All patients were >= 65 years and hospitalized for acute surgical management of their major fractures after trauma. Intervention: None. Main Outcome Measurement: Nutritional status was assessed at admission using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method within 24 hours of admission and daily throughout hospitalization. Results: The incidence of delirium was 20% (94/471). Each unit decrement in MNA-SF was associated with a 14% higher risk of NOD (adjusted OR 1.14; 95% CI 1.05-1.28). Moreover, malnourished patients (MNA-SF score 0-7) were twice as likely to develop NOD (adjusted OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.01-4.35) compared with patients who were not malnourished (MNA-SF score 8-14). Conclusions: In hospitalized, elderly, orthopaedic trauma patients, poor nutritional status may be a modifiable risk factor for NOD. Future studies are needed to determine whether aggressive nutritional interventions can reduce the incidence of NOD and improve outcomes in this cohort of patients.
