===Delirium in the Community Settings===
Exact data in the primary health care settings is not known.  Shorter hospital stays, and increasing number of day surgeries may have resulted in to increased delirium cases in the community.  Less than 50 percent inpatient population recovers fully at the time of discharge.<ref>{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = ABC of psychological medicine: Delirium | url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1124165/ | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = }}</ref>
