Advantages of score-based delirium detection compared to a clinical delirium assessment-a retrospective, monocentric cohort study.

Purpose: Delirium is an underdiagnosed complication on intensive care units (ICU). We hypothesized that a score-based delirium detection using the Nudesc score identifies more patients compared to a traditional diagnosis of delirium by ICU physicians.

Methods: In this retrospective study, all patients treated on a general medical ICU with 30 beds in a university hospital in 2019 were analyzed.

Delirium in Critically Ill Patients with and without COVID-19-A Retrospective Analysis.

Background: Delirium complicating the course of Intensive care unit (ICU) therapy is a known driver of morbidity and mortality. It has been speculated that infection with the neurotrophic SARS-CoV-2 might promote delirium.

Methods: Retrospective registry analysis including all patients treated at least 48 h on a medical intensive care unit.

Incidence and predictors of delirium on the intensive care unit in patients with acute kidney injury, insight from a retrospective registry.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and delirium are common complications on the intensive care unit (ICU). Few is known about the association of AKI and delirium, as well as about incidence and predictors of delirium in patients with AKI. In this retrospective study, all patients with AKI, as defined by the KDIGO (kidney disease improving global outcome) guideline, treated for more than 24 h on the ICU in an university hospital in 2019 were included and analyzed.
