Head-to-head comparison of 14 prediction models for postoperative delirium in elderly non-ICU patients: an external validation study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Delirium is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospitalisation and increased healthcare costs. The number of clinical prediction models (CPM) to predict postoperative delirium has increased exponentially. Our goal is to perform a head-to-head comparison of CPMs predicting postoperative delirium in non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) elderly patients to identify the best performing models.

Setting

Single-site university hospital.

Design

Secondary analysis of prospective cohort study.

Participants and inclusion

CPMs published within the timeframe of 1 January 1990 to 1 May 2020 were checked for eligibility (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). For the time period of 1 January 1990 to 1 January 2017,
