Patients had a diagnosis of delirium\/AMS and underwent a CT head that was classified as abnormal or not. We searched Medline, Embase and other databases (informed by PRISMA guidelines) from inception until November 11, 2021. Studies that were exclusively performed in patients with trauma or a fall were excluded. A meta\u2010analysis of proportions was performed; the pooled proportion of abnormal CTs was estimated using a random effects model. Heterogeneity was determined via the I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      statistic.

The overall yield of CT head in the inpatient\/ED was 13% (95% CI: 10.2%\u201315.9%) and in ICU was 17.4% (95% CI: 10%\u201326.3%), with considerable heterogeneity (I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      96% and 98% respectively). Heterogeneity was partly explained after accounting for study region, publication year, and representativeness of the target population. Yield of CT head diminished after year 2000 (19.8% vs. 11.1%) and varied widely depending on geographical region (8.4%\u201325.9%). The presence of focal neurological deficits was a consistent factor that increased yield.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Use of CT head to diagnose the etiology of delirium and AMS varied widely and yield has declined.
