CSF sTREM2 in delirium separated by onset in patients with and without dementia. Delirium patients were separated by symptom onset prior to or after hip fracture surgery (prevalent- and incident delirium respectively). Among patients without dementia, patients with delirium after CSF sampling (incident delirium) displayed a significantly higher CSF sTREM2 level than patients without delirium (p = 0.02, n = 7, n = 44). CSF sTREM2 in patients with delirium before CSF sampling (prevalent delirium) did not differ from neither those with incident delirium nor from patients without delirium (p = 0.45 and p = 0.46, n = 7, n = 8, n = 44). Separating delirium patients with dementia by delirium onset before or after surgery did not reveal any differences between patient groups. The p values are two-tailed and obtained by Mann-Whitney test, larger and smaller lines represent the median and interquartile range respectively. CSF: cerebrospinal fluid, sTREM2: soluble TREM2
