Background: Post-stroke delirium (POD) in patients on stroke units (SU) is associated with an increased risk for complications and poorer clinical outcome. The objective was to reduce the severity of POD by implementing an interprofessional delirium-management.

Methods: Multicentric quality-improvement project on five SU implementing a delirium-management with pre/post-comparison.
