There is considerable variability in delirium measurement tools, with a wide variety of instruments for screening, diagnosis and severity available for clinical and research use. As a result, it can be difficult for researchers and clinicians to choose a tool that is most appropriate for their purpose.
To assist with this issue, we created Delirium Measurement Info Cards that provide a standardized summary of commonly used measurement tools. These were identified through a systematic review and an online survey that we conducted in 2017.
About the Info Cards
We developed these info cards as tools to assess delirium in adults and pediatric populations, in both ICU and non-ICU settings. We populated these cards with information from each instrument’s original validation study. Thus, there may be additional test performance characteristics or other information about each instrument from subsequent studies not contained in these cards. Where feasible, we added selected references to additional review articles that include these instruments. Below are links both the Adult and Pediatric info card collections.
