Key Points Question Is surgery duration associated with postoperative delirium in patients receiving hip fracture repair? Findings In this population-based cohort study of 68 131 adults, increasing surgery duration was associated with a higher risk-adjusted likelihood of postoperative delirium (6% increase in delirium risk per additional half hour of surgery). This risk was higher in patients who received a general anesthetic. Meaning The findings suggest that prolonged surgery is associated with increased postoperative delirium, particularly when the patient has received a general anesthetic.
