Background: Routine delirium screening could improve delirium detection, but it remains unclear as to which screening tool is most suitable. We tested the diagnostic accuracy of the following screening methods (either individually or in combination) in the detection of delirium: MOTYB (months of the year backwards); SSF (Spatial Span Forwards); evidence of subjective or objective 'confusion'.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of general hospital adult inpatients in a large tertiary referral hospital.
Background: To date, delirium prevalence and incidence in acute hospitals has been estimated from pooled findings of studies performed in distinct patient populations.
Objective: To determine delirium prevalence across an acute care facility.
Design: A point prevalence study.
