Abstract

Delirium is a common complication in elderly subjects hospitalized for hip fracture (HF). However, this geriatric syndrome is multifactorial and heterogeneous in terms of clinical presentation and outcomes. Different classifications have been proposed to describe delirium variants, but literature focusing on the prognostic impact of delirium motor subtypes in hip fracture patients is sparse and inconsistent.
