Exploring the Correlations of Lung Ultrasound with Delirium and Outcomes in Acute GEriatrics World: a Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Study from the GRETA Group of the Italian Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics

Sponsor: University of Milano Bicocca

Summary

The purpose of this observational study is to investigate the prognostic relevance of lung ultrasound (LUS) performed on older patients (aged 65 and above) admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory symptoms. The primary objective is to determine if LUS-detected pulmonary abnormalities upon hospital admission are associated with the development of delirium during hospitalization. Secondary objectives include assessing the association between LUS patterns and clinical outcomes such as oxygen supplementation duration, non-invasive ventilation use, mortality, and length of hospital stay. This study involves no interventions and will monitor patients using LUS as part of their regular clinical care in multiple centers.
