Coefficients represent a comparison from the 25th to 75th percentiles of delirium duration (from 0 to 3 days of delirium).

b

All models are adjusted for age at study enrollment, presence of sepsis at any time during the ICU stay, percent of correct responses to targets on the fMRI N-back test, and mean gray matter volume fraction in the corresponding region.
