Short Article for March #GeriMedJC

This month's #GeriMedJC  short article is sure to bring forth a lot of discussion, if any previous #GeriMedJC on delirium is any indication.  After many months of consultation, the American Geriatrics Society recently put forth The Clinical Practice Guideline for Postoperative Delirium in Older Adults.

The comprehensive guideline and evidence tables are now available for free on GeriatricsCareOnline.org (link). A guideline summary is also available online in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (link). The Best Practice Statement is also available through open access on the American College of Surgeons website (link).

Engage in the discussion on Twitter on March 27, 2015 at 08:00 EDT / 12:00 GMT and don't forget to use the hashtag #GeriMedJC.

What does a short article mean?  In the live version of the Geriatric Medicine Journal Club held at the University of Toronto, the last 15 minutes of the hour is devoted to the presentation and discussion of the article.
