CCU and OPCU patients were evaluated for 480 days. The diagnosis was made according to DSM-V. Sociodemographic characteristics, the Karnofsky index, and the Charlson index were evaluated. Possible etiologies were verified. Severity was assessed with the Delirium Severity Scale (DRS-R98).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1478951522000906_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 1,986 patients were evaluated, 205 were eligible, and 110 were included in the study (CCU: 61, OPCU: 49). Delirium prevalence was 11.35% in the CCU and 9.87% in the OPCU. CCU patients were 12 years older (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.03) and a history of dementia (41 vs. 8.2%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). Organ failure was the most frequent etiology of delirium in the CCU (41.0%), and in the OPCU, the etiologies were neoplasms (28.6%), side effect of medication (22.4%), and infections (2.5%). Differences were found in the clinical characteristics of delirium evaluated by DRS-R98, with the condition being more severe and with a higher frequency of psychotic symptoms in OPCU patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1478951522000906_sec_a5\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Delirium was a common condition in hospitalized patients in the CCU and the OPCU. The clinical characteristics were similar in both groups; however, significant differences were found in OPCU patients in terms of age, personal history of dementia, and opioid use, as well as the severity of delirium and a greater association with psychotic symptoms. These findings have implications for the early implementation of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1478951522000906","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,27]],"date-time":"2022-07-27T09:26:12Z","timestamp":1658913972000},"page":"805-811","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Delirium
