As not all patients with similar risk factors and eliciting conditions develop delirium; it may be hypothesized that genetic variation may play a role in the risk of delirium. On the basis of the relationship between dementia, respectively reduced cholinergic activity, and the APOE epsilon4-allele, and the similarities between dementia and delirium in reduced cholinergic activity, the APOE epsilon4-allele is a rational candidate-gene for delirium. This study examined the association between APOE epsilon4-allele and delirium in elderly patients.
