Delirium screening in the neurointensive care unit: Comparison of the confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit and intensive care delirium screening checklist

Journal of the Neurological Sciences

Breit, et. al

2025-09-01

Delirium is a common and serious potential complication of an ICU stay, associated with risk of mortality and worse outcomes. Screening tools including ICDSC and CAM-ICU have been validated in critical care populations, however, few studies have examined their utility in neurocritically ill patients. Research on delirium is highly segregated with varying terminology used among specialties, making research efforts difficult.
