Abstract

The study was conducted with the objective of analyzing the relationship between the risk of falls, nutritional status and delirium syndrome in the elderly. By cross-sectional descriptive method in 163 patients treated at the Emergency Department of the Central Geriatric Hospital, of which 106 patients had delirium. Research results show that delirium is more common in women than in men, the average age is about 78.3 ± 10.9 years old. In the 3 groups, the majority of patients lived with their families. Only a few live alone. In particular, there are 2 cases living in nursing homes, accounting for 1.9%. There is an association between malnutrition and delirium. Malnutrition had a risk of developing delirium 9.17 times higher than that of normal nutritional status (p < 0.01, 95% CI: 3.45 - 24.5). There is a relationship between the risk of delirium and with p < 0.001. The likelihood of having delirium in the group with the average fall risk was 4.1 times higher than that of the low risk group, and the likelihood of having delirium in the group with the risk of falling was 12.2 times higher than that of the low risk group.
