Effectiveness of a delirium risk assessment and multidisciplinary care approach in reducing delirium incidence among surgical intensive care unit patients: A retrospective pre-post intervention study

Delirium is a common complication in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. It can lead to various adverse events. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of combining the use of the PREdiction of DELIRium (PRE-DELIRIC) model for delirium risk assessment and the use of a multicomponent care bundle for delirium assessment, prevention, and care in terms of reductions in the incidence of delirium among surgical ICU patients.
