CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that most multicomponent interventions were effective in preventing onset of delirium in at-risk patients in a hospital setting but there was insufficient evidence to determine the benefit of such programmes in other care settings. This conclusion reflects the consistent benefit seen across studies; the risk of bias is acknowledged. This conclusion is probably reliable.
