in the behavioral changes due to systemic inflammation induced by critical illness and are related to the development of dementia as well. These neuroinflammatory mechanisms could explain the higher level of markers for cerebral damage associated with delirium. Future studies should investigate the effect of multicomponent interventions to prevent delirium with a goal of reducing the incidence of cognitive decline after hospitalization.

TLDR
This review summarizes the clinical manifestations of and risk factors for delirium and the evaluation of patients with this condition and provides guidance regarding practical measures to prevent this common complication.
Markers of cerebral damage during delirium in elderly patients with hip fracture
TLDR
Delirium was associated with increased level of S100B which could indicate cerebral damage either due to delirium or leading todelirium and the higher risk of developing dementia after delirious patients is an interesting field for future research.
The Association Between Delirium and Cognitive Decline: A Review of the Empirical Literature
TLDR
The evidence suggests a relationship between delirium and cognitive impairment, although significant questions remain regarding the nature of this association and additional research onDelirium-related effects on long-term cognitive outcome is needed.
Association between acute care and critical illness hospitalization and cognitive function in older adults.
TLDR
Among a cohort of older adults without dementia at baseline, those who experienced acute care hospitalization and critical illness hospitalization had a greater likelihood of cognitive decline compared with those who had no hospitalization.
Apolipoprotein E4 polymorphism as a genetic predisposition to delirium in critically ill patients*
TLDR
Using multivariable regression analysis to adjust for age, admission diagnosis of sepsis or acute respiratory distress syndrome or pneumonia, severity of illness, and duration of coma, the presence of APOE4 allele was the strongest predictor of delirium duration.

The significance of neuroinflammation in understanding Alzheimer’s disease
TLDR
The role of inflammation in the early stage of AD pathology and particularly the role ofinflammatory in Aβ metabolism and deposition is reviewed and the possibilities of inflammation-based therapeutic strategies in AD are discussed.
Evaluation of delirium in critically ill patients: Validation of the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU)
TLDR
The CAM-ICU demonstrated excellent reliability and validity when used by nurses and physicians to identify delirium in intensive care unit patients and may be a useful instrument for both clinical and research purposes to monitor deliria in this challenging patient population.
