Delirium is a serious acute neuropsychiatric syndrome, characterized by acute and fluctuating inattention, other cognitive deficits, and al-terations in level of consciousness, that is independently associated with several adverse outcomes. Delirium is a transdisciplinary condition since it can affect vulnerable people in all settings of care. This clinical case is the basis for a special issue on this topic in which the negative consequence of delirium and the methods to manage people affected by this condition are described across various settings of care.

Abstract
Delirium is a serious acute neuropsychiatric syndrome, characterized by acute and fluctuating inattention, other cognitive deficits, and al-terations in level of consciousness, that is independently associated with several adverse outcomes. Delirium is a transdisciplinary condition since it can affect vulnerable people in all settings of care. This clinical case is the basis for a special issue on this topic in which the negative consequence of delirium and the methods to manage people affected by this condition are described across various settings of care.
