Yes. Delirium typically involves an acute change in attention and cognition that develops over a short period and may fluctuate, while dementia generally involves more persistent cognitive impairment. The patient's prior cognitive baseline, timing of symptoms, documented fluctuations, acute illnesses, medication changes, laboratory findings, and clinical examinations may help distinguish delirium, dementia, or delirium occurring in a patient who already has dementia.
An older adult's prior condition may be established using earlier medical records, mobility assessments, medication histories, therapy records, living arrangements, use of assistive devices, caregiver observations, and documentation of daily functioning. These records can help establish the patient's previous level of independence and distinguish preexisting limitations from changes that developed after the injury or hospitalization.
