This propspective cohort study of medical ICU patients showed that the duration of delirium is independently associated with long-term cognitive impairment which is a common health problem among ICU survivors.

In this prospective cohort analysis of ventilated and lightly sedated ICU patients, delirium was shown to be the strongest independent predictor of mortality and duration on mechanical ventilation after adjusting for relevant covariates.
