ORCHARD-PS Study
CPSD
Some older people become confused or more confused than usual when they are admitted to hospital. This confusion may be very obvious and is called “delirium”. We want to find out why some older people in hospital become confused, and why some people recover well from their illness but others go on to develop thinking and memory problems.
