Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Arabic version of the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) for detecting delirium in critically ill patients in Saudi Arabia.
- Conducting a psychometric evaluation with 108 Arabic-speaking ICU patients, the Arabic CAM-ICU demonstrated a sensitivity of 74% and 56% for an ICU nurse and an intensivist respectively, while maintaining a high specificity rate (98% and 92%).
- Results indicated that sensitivity was higher in specific subgroups, such as mechanically ventilated patients and those aged 65 and older, with quick assessment completion times of around 2 to 4.5 minutes by the examiners
