  1. This table presents the linear regression analysis for delirium severity taking into account ICU type as well as other variables including medications. Delirium severity was determined by the mean of the CAM-ICU-7 scores in the first 7 days after enrollment.

SE standard error, APACHE II acute physiology and chronic health evaluation is a score which measures severity of illness, IADL instrumental activities of daily living (Lawton), ADL activities of daily living (Katz), SICU surgical intensive care unit, MICU medical intensive care unit, CCI Charlson Comorbidity Index, IQCODE informant questionnaire on cognitive decline in the elderly, MME morphine milligram equivalent.
