ABSTRACT

Background: Delirium is a psychiatric medical condition, characterized by an acute and fluctuating disturbance of alert state, and other cognitive manifestations. Despite its high frequency in hospitalized pediatric patients, most of the research has been limited to retrospective studies and there are no national prospective literature reports on pediatric population.
Objective: Describe the frequency, clinical characteristics, morbidity and mortality of delirium in hospitalized pediatric patients.
Materials and Methods: Observational, cross-sectional, prospective, analytical study, in a sample of patients from 6 to 17 years old diagnosed with delirium by a child psychiatrist from August 2020 to August 2021. Evaluation was performed using Cornell and PAED delirium scales.
Results: Sample was constituted by 24 patients: 15 males and 9 females. Mean age was 13 ± 3 years. Distribution by subtypes was: 10 (42%) patients with hypoactive delirium, 9 (37%) patients with mixed delirium and 5 (21%). patients with hyperactive delirium. Higher levels of C-Reactive Protein showed significant association with severity of delirium. High frequency of adding risk factors was found.
Conclusions: High frequency of adding risk factors was found. Higher levels of C-Reactive Protein showed significant association with severity of delirium.
