Risk factors and research considerations for delirium and long-term outcomes studies. Various risk factors and research considerations may influence reported associations between in-hospital incidence, duration, and/or severity and postdischarge outcomes. Readmission to the ICU or hospital may further negatively impact delirium and long-term patient outcomes. *Two separate Core Outcome Sets exist for research on delirium in the ICU and on long-term outcomes after acute respiratory failure (15, 16).
