⭐ META-ANALYSIS: Hospital delirium --> devastating long-term outcomes 253 studies, 137,000+ pts: • 5.4x dementia risk • 2.8x institutionalisation • 2.5x mortality • 1.7x readmission ⚠️ Delirium = a serious acute problem AND a risk warning. ➡️ All pts deserve robust delirium assessment

🫀What is the relationship between adult cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and dementia risk? 🫀 Newly published research in #DADM demonstrate high CRF is longitudinally associated with a lower risk of late-onset dementia (🧵1/2) Full Article: alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/da…

#Delirium is not “just confusion”, it is a major prognostic event in CV medicine. In our State-of-the-Art Review in #EHJ, we synthesize current evidence on mechanisms, prevention, and management across the CV continuum. 🧠🫀 acortar.link/PfFZLf @CekajEndrit et al👏👏

We reassessed the @TheLancet 14 dementia risk factors and added poverty, wealth shocks, income inequality, & HIV. This provides a larger estimation of preventable dementia & exposes gender inequities with larger burdens in women. Out in @eBioMedicine bit.ly/4nU30fU.
