Development and validation of a postoperative delirium prediction model for patients admitted to an intensive care unit in China: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:We aimed to develop and validate a postoperative delirium (POD) prediction model for patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). DESIGN:A prospective study was conducted. SETTING:The study was conducted in the surgical, cardiovascular surgical and trauma surgical ICUs of an affiliated hospital of a medical university in Heilongjiang Province, China. PARTICIPANTS:This study included 400 patients (≥18 years old) admitted to the ICU after surgery. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES:The primary outcome measure was POD assessment during ICU stay. RESULTS:The model was developed using 300 consecutive ICU patients and was validated using 100 patients from the same ICUs. The model was based on five risk factors: Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration
