Delirium represents a significant healthcare burden, diagnosed in over two million elderly Americans each year. In the surgical population, delirium remains the most common complication among elderly patients and is associated with longer hospital stays, higher costs of care, increased mortality and functional impairment. The pathomechanism of disease is poorly understood, with current diagnostic approaches somewhat subjective and arbitrary, and definitive diagnostic biomarkers are currently lacking. Despite the recent interest in delirium research, biomarker discovery for it remains new. Most attempts to discover biomarkers are targeted studies that seek to assess the involvement of one or more members of a focused panel of candidates in delirium. For a more unbiased, systems-biology view, we searched literature from MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Dimensions between 2016 and 2021 for untargeted proteomic discovery studies for biomarkers of delirium conducted on human geriatric subjects. Two reviewers conducted independent review of all search results and resolved discordance by consensus. From an overall search of 1172 publications, eight peer-reviewed studies met our defined inclusion criteria. The 370 unique peri-operative biomarkers identified in these reports are enriched in pathways involving the activation of the immune system, inflammatory response, and the coagulation cascade. The most frequently identified biomarker was IL-6. By reviewing the distribution of protein biomarker candidates from these studies, we conclude that a panel of proteins, rather than a single biomarker, would allow for discriminating delirium cases from non-cases. The paucity of hypothesis-generating studies in the peer-reviewed literature also suggests that a systems-biology view of delirium pathomechanisms has yet to fully emerge.
