Accreditation Statement
In support of improving patient care, this activity has
been planned and implemented by the
American Delirium Society & Sutter Health.
Sutter Health, is jointly accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the
Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE),
the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and
the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) to provide
continuing education for the healthcare team.

Financial Disclosures

• This SIG comprises an interprofessional group with the purpose of fostering
robust discussion of the neural basis of delirium.
• As delirium is an area, which spans across many different specialties and
stakeholders, it is important to promote an inclusive culture to encourage,
promote and to further learning in clinical, scientific, and educational aspects
of delirium focused on the underlying neural substrates.
Purpose of the SIG

• The goal of this SIG to is to explain better how delirium can be diagnosed, what
the prognosis of the delirium disorders might be, and ultimately how we best
look after the patients and carers of today and tomorrow.
• We call for an enhanced granular understanding of the (biological) endotypes,
as well as the clinico-pathological correlates, of the various delirium disorders.
We aim for clearer communication with patients and carers to alleviate their
distress.
Goal of the SIG

• A detailed understanding of the clinical presentation of delirium in various care
settings can now be paired with state-of-the-art neuroscience.
• This SGS would enable members to introduce to each other people with a
common interest and purpose, develop shared resources, communicate, and
perhaps also find collaborators.
How the SIG will benefit members

• What are the common endotypes of delirium? How do the recognised
symptoms of delirium relate to the actual experiences of patients and carers?
• What is the neural basis of the symptoms and the cognitive impairment which
follows recurrent delirium?
Some research questions

We made a start last year

This symposium will evaluate critically the relationship between dementia and
delirium, clinically, as well as through consideration of the existence of possible
biomarkers, as well as the possibility of a "biological signature" to unify these
different phenotypes in neurodegenerative diseases.
The symposium might also consider an overall relationship between
neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in the construct of “delirium
superimposed on dementia” (DSD).
