Role of Wearable Accelerometer Devices in Delirium Studies: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: We sought to determine the feasibility of using wearable accelerometer devices for determining delirium effects on patients' physical activity patterns and detecting delirium and delirium subtype.

Data sources

PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science.

Study selection

Screening was performed using predefined search terms to identify original research studies using accelerometer devices for studying physical activity in relation to delirium.

Data extraction

Key data were extracted from the selected articles.

Data synthesis

Among the 14 studies identified, there were a total of 315 patients who wore accelerometer devices to record movements related to delirium. Eight studies (57.1%) used accelerometer devices to compare the activity of delirious and nondelirious patients
