P3‐308: The effect of dementia case management in community‐dwelling individuals with dementia on resource utilization: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Index, SII). Delirium severity and performance on cognitive test were reviewed daily throughout the GMU stay. Patients with and without dementia were compared for recovery in cognitive scores and functional status. Results: 122 patients with delirium and admitted to GMU were recruited over a one-year period 82 (67.2%) patients with underlying dementia and 40 (32.8%) patients without dementia. There were no significant differences in age, gender, delirium severity or illness severity at admission to GMU between groups, although patients with dementia had significantly higher Charlson’s co-morbidity (2.27 versus 1.75, P1⁄40.05). Patients with and without dementia did not differ in their performance on cognitive testing (CMMSE) at admission to GMU, although delirious patients without underlying dementia demonstrated significantly greater improvement in CMMSE scores at discharge (6.73 points versus 1.99 points, P
