Symptom Profile of Delirium in Older People With and Without Dementia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Clinical profiles of delirium in 717 older people with and without dementia age 75 years and older in 4 different types of care were studied. Delirium and dementia were diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria. Delirious demented participants (n = 135) had more often had previous delirium episodes and were more often being treated with analgesics compared to delirious participants without dementia (n = 180). The clinical profile of delirium in the participants with dementia was more frequently characterized by aggressivity, latency in reaction to verbal stimuli, restlessness and agitation, delusions, anxiousness, hallucinations, and a poorer orientation and recognition. Delirium among demented participants more often had a fluctuating course during the day and was more common in the evening and at night. In conclusion, clinical profiles of delirium in participants with and without dementia are different, which might indicate a different etiology or pathophysiology, or both, and a need for different treatment strategies.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
