| Abstract | Background Delirium is a neurocognitive disorder characterized by an acute and relatively rapid decline in cognition, disturbance of consciousness, reduced ability to focus, and shift of attention. It mainly affects elderly patients with an incidence of about 8–23% after an operation. It frequently occurs between 24-hrs and 5 days after surgery. It results in serious medical management problems. Hence, identifying the incidence and associated factors may help prevent and manage its sequel in the elderly. Objective Assessment of the incidence and associated factors of postoperative delirium(POD) among elderly elective orthopedic surgical patients in Addis Ababa public hospitals, Ethiopia, 2024. Methods A multi-centered longitudinal study was conducted on 220 elderly (age ≥ 65 years) patients in four selected public hospitals of the study area from February 2024 to May 2024, and a systematic sampling technique was used to select the study units. Data was collected through chart review and interviews of patients, and postoperative delirium was assessed using the confusion assessment method (CAM). Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used for statistical analysis. The strength of association was determined with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval(CI) at a p-value of < 0.05. Results A total of 220 patients were studied, and the incidence of POD among elderly elective orthopedic surgical patients was 33.7%. Age 65–75(AOR = 0.47, 95%CI (0.226–0.97)), Induction using ketamine (AOR = 1.32, 95%CI(1.109–3.87), p = 0.003)), perioperative opioid use (AOR = 2.20, 95%CI(1.073 4.5313)), intraoperative anticholinergic use(AOR = 2.24,95%CI(1.831–4.235)), recent hospitalization history (AOR = 2.24,95%CI(1.202–4.206)), and transfusion (AOR = 2.83,95%CI(1.295–6.193)) were significantly associated with POD (p < 0.05). Conclusion and recommendations The incidence of POD in the study area was high (33.7%); advanced age, hospitalization history, Anesthesia induction by Ketamine, perioperative anticholinergic uses, opioid use, and blood transfusion use were associated factors for postoperative delirium. We recommend giving due attention to elderly patients with advanced age, history of hospitalization, perioperative Ketamie use, perioperative anticholinergic uses, opioid use, and blood transfusion use undergoing elderly elective orthopedic surgery. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
