Drugs with anticholinergic properties are commonly prescribed to older persons despite growing evidence of their significant adverse effects. However, limited data are available concerning their contribution to time of onset of delirium. This study aimed to determine the potential association of higher anticholinergic burden to early-onset of delirium superimposed dementia in the older adult.
