Delirium is a common disorder in ill older patients, characterized by a fluctuating disturbance of consciousness and changes in cognition that develop over a short period of time. Studies have shown that delirium is an independent predictor of increased length of hospital stay, and is associated with increased dependency and mortality, as well as being distressing for patients and families. Much is known about the epidemiology of delirium, including predisposing factors such as pre-existing dementia and advanced age, and common precipitants such as infection, drugs and major surgery. In comparison, very little is known about the neuropathological mechanisms that lead to the development of delirium.

Stroke patients tend to stay longer in one hospital compared to patients with other neurological disease. After the introduction of 3 types of critical pathway dedicated for various severity of acute ischemic stroke in 1995, the average length of in-hospital days declined from 30.0 days (1993) to 15.3 days (1998), ie 49% reduction. This reduction was achieved by the use of critical pathway and the hospital-hospital cooperation.

The Cost

✓ To determine the relationship between clinical grade on admission and treatment cost after aneurysm rupture, the authors retrospectively examined the length of hospital stay (LOS) and total hospitalization costs (excluding professional fees) for 543 patients admitted for aneurysm surgery between 1983 and 1993. The overall median LOS was 18 days, with a range of 1 to 165 days. Increased median LOS correlated with Hunt and Hess Grades 0 to IV on admission (p< 0.001). Median LOS for Grade V patients was reduced, in part, because of early mortality. Increased treatment cost also correlated with worse admission clinical grade (p < 0.001). A significant proportion of total expenditures occurred early in the hospitalization for patients in all clinical grades. Identification of additional factors affecting the cost of aneurysm treatment is indicated to complement treatment outcome studies.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder in patients with stroke, which leads to various fatal complications. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the outcomes of acute stroke patients with hyponatremia. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases for relevant literature in English published up to March 2020. Two review authors independently screened and selected the studies by assessing the eligibility and validity based on the inclusion criteria. Mortality at 90 days was set as the primary end point, and in-hospital mortality and length of hospital stay were set as the secondary end points. We conducted the data synthesis and analyzed the outcomes by calculating the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 835 studies, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria (<i>n</i> = 10,745). The prevalence rate of stroke patients with hyponatremia was 7.0–59.2%. They had significantly higher 90-day mortality (OR, 1.73; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.24–2.42) and longer length of hospital stay (mean difference, 10.68 days; 95% CI, 7.14–14.22) than patients without hyponatremia. Patients with hyponatremia had a higher tendency of in-hospital mortality than those without hyponatremia (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 0.97–2.69). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The development of hyponatremia in the clinical course of stroke is associated with higher short-term mortality and a longer hospital stay. Although the causal relationship is unclear, hyponatremia could be a significant predictor of poor outcomes after stroke.
