Abstract Purpose Incident delirium is a frequent complication among hospitalized older people with COVID-19, associated increased length of hospital stay, higher morbidity and mortality rates. Although preventable early detection, systematic assessment methods predictive models are not universally defined, thus often underrated. In this study, we tested the role Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI), prognostic tool based on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, to predict risk incident...
