Researchers found that almost three-quarters of US adults admitted to the ICU with the virus experience delirium, which continues for about one week. What's more, coronavirus patients who experience delirium were 10 percent more likely to die than those who didn't. This included patients who were admitted to ICUs with a positive coronavirus test between March 1 and April 27. Additionally, more than one-quarter of patients with delirium died compared to about 16 percent of patients without delirium who died. This is not the first report to find cases of delirium in coronavirus patients.
