Development and validation of PRE-DELIRIC (PREdiction of DELIRium in ICu patients) delirium prediction model for intensive care patients: observational multicentre study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To develop and validate a delirium prediction model for adult intensive care patients and determine its additional value compared with prediction by caregivers.

Design

Observational multicentre study.

Setting

Five intensive care units in the Netherlands (two university hospitals and three university affiliated teaching hospitals).

Participants

3056 intensive care patients aged 18 years or over.

Main outcome measure

Development of delirium (defined as at least one positive delirium screening) during patients' stay in intensive care.

Results

The model was developed using 1613 consecutive intensive care patients in one hospital and temporally validated using 549 patients from the same hospital. For external validation, data were collected
