In the US, 5 older persons develop delirium every minute, affecting a total of more than 2.6 million adults age 65 and older each year, and costing more than $164 billion in annual healthcare expenditures. Given its adverse impact on function and quality of life, delirium holds tremendous societal implications for the individual, family, community, and the entire healthcare system.
