All models adjusted for: demographics (age, gender, race); admission characteristic variables, including admitting department (medicine versus non-medicine), and time spent in the intensive care unit (ICU); delirium, dementia, insomnia; 28 additional medical comorbidities identified via ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM secondary diagnosis codes and Diagnosis Related Groups using Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Comorbidity Software based on the work of Elixhauser et al.;12-14; and other medication exposures (benzodiazepines, opioids, acid-suppressive medications).
