In 7th Congress of the EUGMS, Màlaga, 28th-30th September 2011. – In European Geriatric Medicine (Poster presentation clinical area) (2011) 2 (Suppl. 1), S24 - S206http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/19715Introduction.– ‘‘Delirium’’, also known as Acute Confusion (AC), is associated to significant incidence rates and weak outcomes, with great impact in the patient. It is a complex syndrome frequently subdiagnosed by the interdisciplinary team. Due to such problems our purpose in this work is to: translate and validate to Portuguese a scale capable of diagnosing the syndrome; identify the frequency of patients and their characteristics in a university hospital; perform a patient’s follow-up one month after the evaluation of the ‘‘delirium’’ episode.engconference object10.1016/j.eurger.2011.06.002
