  1. Data on cognitive functioning were available for 561 patients. The delirium group (n = 188) was divided into: No problems (n = 99), mild problems (n = 79) and severe problems (n = 10). For the group without delirium (n = 373): no problems (n = 261), mild problems (n = 103) and severe problems (n = 9).
