Management of delirium at an academic medical centre: Plans for Antipsychotic medication for Delirium after discharge
Mental Health Clinician - Abstract. The objective of the study was to determine the frequency at which patients with delirium were prescribed an antipsychotic at hospital discharge and to characterise discharge antipsychotic prescribing for psychiatric consult and non consult cohorts. In this retrospective review patients were more likely to be discharged on an antipsychotic that was initiated during admission for management of delirium. Findings from this study also align with prior research demonstrating a positive association between antipsychotic discharge instructions and specialty consult recommendations.
