One-Year Medicare Costs Associated With Delirium in Older Patients Undergoing Major Elective Surgery

Ray Yun Gou et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the 1-year healthcare costs attributable to postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing elective surgery. The findings showed that delirium was associated with higher healthcare costs, which increased with the severity of delirium, suggesting an exposure-response relationship. Extrapolating nationally, the estimated healthcare costs attributable to postoperative delirium were substantial, highlighting the need for policy imperatives to address delirium as a large-scale public health issue.
