 Atypical antipsychotics have been widely used for the treatment of delirium. However, there are only few reports on clinical trials of aripiprazole for its use in the treatment of delirium. In the present study, we describe the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole in the patients with delirium. Seventeen patients with ICD-10 delirium were administered open-label aripiprazole. To evaluate the efficacy of aripiprazole, the scores of 13 severity items of the Japanese version of the Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98 were assessed. Aripiprazole was effective in 76.5% (13/17) of the patients. The initial dose of aripiprazole was 5.8±0.8 mg/day, and the maximum dose was 8.1±3.3mg/day. The maximum treatment response was achieved at 5.4±4.6days. Lightheadedness (17.6%) and somnolence (11.8%) were observed;however, there were no serious adverse effects. These results suggest the efficacy and safety of using aripiprazole in the treatment of delirium. To verify these preliminary findings, further controlled comparison studies are needed.
