OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Delirium and long-term cognitive outcomes: lessons from population studies
Delirium affects around 1 in 5 older inpatients and is associated with substantial harm including falls, increased length of stay and rehabilitation needs. Long-term outcomes from delirium are increasingly recognised, though it is not clear if delirium is unmasking a previously unrecognised dementia or if in some cases delirium is directly accelerating the trajectory of cognitive decline.
This seminar will review some of the epidemiological approaches used to track cognitive function before, during and after acute hospitalisation and delirium. We will discuss some of the methodological challenges with reference to current cohort studies.
