Understanding the association between pain and delirium in older hospital inpatients: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective Delirium and pain are common in older adults admitted to hospital. The relationship between these is unclear, but clinically important. We aimed to systematically review the association between pain (at rest, movement, pain severity) and delirium in this population. Methods PubMed, EMBASE,...

      ab: Objective Delirium and pain are common in older adults admitted to hospital. The relationship between these is unclear, but clinically important. We aimed to systematically review the association between pain (at rest, movement, pain severity) and delirium in this population. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane and Web of Science were searched (January 1982–November 2022) for Medical Subject Heading terms and synonyms ('Pain', 'Analgesic', 'Delirium'). Study eligibility: (1) validated pain measure as exposure, (2) validated delirium tool as an outcome; participant eligibility: (1) medical or surgical (planned/unplanned) inpatients, (2) admission length ≥ 48 h and (3) median cohort age over 65 years. Study quality was assessed with the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. We collected/calculated odds ratios (ORs) for categorical data and standard mean differences (SMDs) for continuous data and conducted multi-level random-intercepts meta-regression models. This review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO [18/5/2020] (CRD42020181346). Results Thirty studies were selected: 14 reported categorical data; 16 reported continuous data. Delirium prevalence ranged from 2.2 to 55%. In the multi-level analysis, pain at rest (OR 2.14; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.39–3.30), movement (OR 1.30; 95% CI 0.66–2.56), pain categorised as 'severe' (OR 3.42; 95% CI 2.09–5.59) and increased pain severity when measured continuously (SMD 0.33; 95% CI 0.08–0.59) were associated with an increased delirium risk. There was substantial heterogeneity in both categorical (I = 0%–77%) and continuous analyses (I = 85%). Conclusion An increase in pain was associated with a higher risk of developing delirium. Adequate pain management with appropriate analgesia may reduce incidence and severity of delirium.
