Efficacy of Antipsychotics for Delirium and Odds Ratios Yeah, No Journal Club

In this episode, we dive into a recent paper that found that antipsychotics were not effective in treating delirium . . . . at least, not effective in decreasing the number of days with delirium among intubated patients in the ICU, which is a finding that may or may not be relevant to psychiatrists. We spend time examining what the authors mean when they say that "the odds ratio included unity" in the "adjusted and unadjusted analyses" with a review of what exactly an odds ratio is.
