From: CSF sTREM2 in delirium—relation to Alzheimer’s disease CSF biomarkers Aβ42, t-tau and p-tau
CSF sTREM2 level in patients with medical delirium. There was a tendency of a reduced CSF sTREM2 level in patients who presented with or developed delirium secondary to a medical condition compared to patients with delirium following a hip fracture (p = 0.08; n = 26, n = 65). Restricting the analyses to only patients without pre-existing dementia, hip fracture-triggered delirium patients displayed a higher CSF sTREM2 level than the medical delirium patients (p = 0.04, n = 15, n = 17). CSF: cerebrospinal fluid, sTREM2: soluble TREM2
