Purpose: The occurrence of trauma-related delirium following postoperative abdominal surgery is associated with a poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to identify predictive risk factors for trauma-related delirium.
Methods: Trauma patient data from a regional trauma center were retrospectively collected from August 2015 to December 2016. The primary inclusion criteria were patients diagnosed with traumarelated delirium following abdominal trauma surgery. Head trauma patients and those under 18 years of age were excluded from this study. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors associated with trauma-related delirium.
Results: Of the 255 trauma patients who met the inclusion criteria, 32 (12.5%) were diagnosed with delirium. The mean values for the age of the patients, Injury Severity Score, Glasgow Coma Scale score, and length of intensive care unit stay were 52.1 ± 17.8 years, 16.9, 14, and 7.1 days, respectively. Among the measured parameters, age [odds ratio (OR), 1.03; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.06; p = 0.022)], sex (OR, 0.125; 0.03-0.55; p = 0.006), hemoglobin level (OR, 0.875; CI, 0.68-0.98; p = 0.03), length of stay in the intensive care unit (OR, 1.12; CI, 1.03-1.22; p = 0.01), and having an abdominal operation (OR, 2.92; CI, 1.10-7.23; p = 0.011) showed strong correlations with trauma-related delirium.
Conclusion: This study showed that abdominal surgery was strongly associated with delirium in patients with traumatic abdominal injury. Thus, changes in consciousness should be carefully monitored following surgery.
