Abstract
Delirium, a form of acute brain failure, exhibits a high incidence among older adults. Recent studies have implicated frailty as an under-recognized complication of diabetes mellitus. Whether the presence of frailty increases the risk of delirium/cognitive impairment among patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains unclear.
