Abstract
Antibiotics for Delirium and Pyuria or BacteriuriaDelirium is common among hospitalized older adults, frequently leading to initiation of antibiotics when pyuria or bacteriuria is detected. However, it is difficult to determine if pyuria or bacteriuria is the cause of delirium or incidentally identified. This article proposes a trial to assess if treatment with antibiotics hastens delirium resolution.
