Management of delirium in acute stroke patients: a position paper by the Austrian Stroke Society on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

While the main results showed a trend toward a lower Nu-DESC score in the intervention group (Nu-DESC median postintervention: 3.0 versus Nu-DESC median preintervention: 3.5), there was no effect on the disability or mortality after stroke. 72 However, the results must be interpreted cautiously, as the study was largely limited by a small sample size. 72 Similar intervention bundles should be specifically investigated in the population of acute stroke patients, offering a promising possibility for reducing delirium rates and severity after stroke ( Table 2 ).
