What is the Delirium Bibliography? The searchable Delirium Bibliography page is one of our most popular features, allowing you to quickly gain access to the literature on delirium and acute care of older persons. It is primarily intended for clinicians and researchers interested in exploring these topics. The NIDUS team keeps it updated for you on a monthly basis!

- Abstract
Delirium is a syndrome of acute brain failure which is prevalent amongst older adults in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Incidence of delirium can significantly worsen prognosis and increase mortality, therefore necessitating its rapid and continual assessment in the ICU. Currently, the common approach for delirium assessment is manual and sporadic. Hence, there exists a critical need for a robust and automated system for predicting delirium in the ICU. In this work, we develop a machine learning (ML) system for real-time prediction of delirium using Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. Unlike prior approaches which provide one delirium prediction label per entire ICU stay, our approach provides predictions every 12 hours. We use the latest 12 hours of ICU data, along with patient demographic and medical history data, to predict delirium risk in the next 12-hour window. This enables delirium risk prediction as soon as 12 hours after ICU admission. We train and test four ML classification algorithms on longitudinal EHR data pertaining to 16,327 ICU stays of 13,395 patients covering a total of 56,297 12-hour windows in the ICU to predict the dynamic incidence of delirium. The best performing algorithm was Categorical Boosting which achieved an area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.87 (95% Confidence Interval; C.I, 0.86-0.87). The deployment of this ML system in ICUs can enable early identification of delirium, thereby reducing its deleterious impact on long-term adverse outcomes, such as ICU cost, length of stay and mortality.
