- Non-pharmacological multicomponent interventions reduce delirium duration by about 1.79 days in older adults compared to usual care.
- Pharmacological interventions showed no significant effect on reducing delirium duration.
- Neither intervention type significantly reduced length of stay.
- High heterogeneity and limited studies affect the strength of evidence for non-pharmacological interventions.
- More high-quality trials are needed to evaluate treatments for delirium in older adults.
