In our study, we found consistent evidence that delirium is associated with adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Unlike previous studies, we demonstrated the association between delirium not only with in-hospital death but also with length of stay, intensive care admission and ventilator utilization.	./cache/cord-304601-e6qlx1r6.txt	./txt/cord-304601-e6qlx1r6.txt
