Abstract

In the Intensive Care Unit, delirium is a common yet underdiagnosed form of organ dysfunction, and its contribution to patient outcomes is unclear. Accurate prediction of delirium in the Intensive Care Unit may facilitate efficient use of early preventive strategies and stratification of Intensive Care Unit patients by delirium risk in clinical research, but the optimal delirium prediction model to use is unclear. In this paper the authors start the search for the predictive model by determining the occurrence of the major risk factors and conclude that all of them play a role with different grades of intensity but they all should be considered.
