The odds ratio of POD, comparing the intervention group to the control, was 0.71 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44\u20131.16] when adjusting for baseline patient characteristics. The intervention was associated with an LOS 0.94 (95% CI 0.85\u20131.05) and nursing time 0.96 (95% CI 0.86\u20131.07) times that of the control, adjusted for baseline patient characteristics. Medium risk patients (21.6% of patients) had an LOS 0.74 (95% CI 0.59\u20130.92) and required nursing time 0.79 (95% CI from 0.62\u20131.00) times the control, adjusted for baseline patient
