The intermediate multivariate models consist of variables from the same main category (Background, Admission, Per- and postoperative, Delirium), and variables that turned out to be significant in these analyses were candidates for the final model.

OR = Odds Ratio; CI = Confidence Interval; NEADL = Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living; ASA = American Society of Anaesthesiologists; MAP = Mean Arterial Pressure; HR = Heart Rate; bpm = beats per minute; IQR = Interquartile range.

Missing data (N) for several variables: NEADL: N = 21, Barthel Index: N = 20, Prefracture hypertension: N = 9, ASA group: N = 8, Type of anaesthesia: N = 6, Duration of anaesthesia: N = 13, Difference in MAP from admission to lowest value during anaesthesia: N = 4, Pressor used during surgery: N = 2, MAP and HR postoperatively: N = 2, Blood transfusions: N = 3.

a Mann-Whitney tests for skewed continuous variables, p-values are 2-tailed.Logistic regression for categorical and ordinal variables.
