As reported in the abstract
Postoperative delirium (Confusion Assessment Method)
- Bundle perianesthetic management, lower risk of delirium, per-protocol analysis: RR
- 0.40 (95% CI 0.19-0.84, p = 0.012)
- Bundle perianesthetic management, lower risk of delirium, ITT analysis: RR
- 0.39 (95% CI 0.19-0.84, p = 0.011)
