In contrast, 30\u201340% of patients with liver cirrhosis may develop hepatic encephalopathy, a condition that has been classified as a syndrome of delirium, based on recent pathophysiology findings. However, the prevalence of delirium in gastroenterology and hepatology units is unknown.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The aims of the study were (i) to identify delirium prevalence rates in inpatients of gastroenterology\/hepatology wards, (ii) to analyze the delirium motor subtype, and (iii) to assess associations between delirium and patient characteristics.<\/jats:p><jats:p>In this monocentric, cross-sectional, epidemiological study, point prevalence was assessed at six time points in three gastroenterology\/hepatology units within a German university hospital. Delirium was assessed using the 4 \u2018As\u2019 Test (4AT) and delirium subtype by the delirium motor subtype scale. Patient characteristics were collected from patient charts.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The sample consisted of 188 patients, aged 18 to 98 years (mean age 64, n=110 male). Of them, 18.1% of patients showed delirium symptoms (61.8% hypoactive, 29.4% mixed, and 8.8% hyperactive). For the participants aged \u226565 years (n=96), prevalence of delirium amounted to 26.0%. Significant associations were observed between delirium and the following characteristics: age (p=0.001), length of hospital stay until assessment (p=0.043), cerebrovascular disease (p=0.002), dementia (p=0.010), diabetes mellitus with chronic complications (p=0.012), and gender (nonsignificant trend, p=0.050), while no association was detected between moderate or severe liver disease and delirium (p=0.414).<\/jats:p><jats:p>In conclusion, overall prevalence rates of delirium were rather low and did not increase in patients with liver disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2124-1874","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,16]],"date-time":"2023-08-16T22:55:10Z","timestamp":1692226510000},"page":"1357-1364","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prevalence
