Logistic regression analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus (OR 3.305, 95% CI: 1.866–12.616; p = 0.047), CRP level (OR 1.002, 95% CI: 1.001–1.023; p = 0.044), and IL-6 level (OR 1.045, 95% CI: 1.017–1.063; p = 0.001) were independent risk factors for hypoactive delirium. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and diabetes mellitus.
