Motoric Subtypes vs. Mental Health Outcomes

3-month follow up (N=556) BDI-II Difference (95% CI) PCL-S Difference (95% CI)
Hypoactive Delirium 0.11 (−0.16. 0.38) −0.13 (−0.42, 0.15)
Hyperactive Delirium 0.59 (−0.14, 1.32) 0.78 (0.00, 1.55)
12-month follow up (N=474) BDI-II Difference (95% CI) PCL-S Difference (95% CI)
Hypoactive Delirium 0.03 (−0.27, 0.34) 0.18 (−0.11, 0.47)
Hyperactive Delirium 0.28 (−0.57, 1.12) 0.67 (−0.13, 1.46)

After adjusting for potential baseline and in-hospital confounders including age, gender, race, education, comorbidities, baseline cognitive and functional impairment, history of depression, severity of illness, and days of coma and mechanical ventilation, we did not find any significant association between days of hypoactive or hyperactive delirium and symptoms of depression or PTSD at 3 or 12 months after discharge from hospitalization for critical illness.
