Description
Paola Bozzatello and the team review psychiatry consultation work in a large Turin hospital, in a 2026 observational study. Consultation-liaison psychiatry supports medical wards when mental health problems complicate care. Delirium, a sudden confusional state, receives special attention here. The team looked for factors that predict how patients fare.
Records covered 500 consultations, including 143 people with delirium. Most requests came from internal medicine and orthopaedic or trauma units. Depression was another frequent reason for referral. Death was more common in the delirium group than overall. Severity scores were repeated after one week to track change and test which factors predicted improvement.
