detectionICUscreeningThe article presents a study which evaluates the validity of Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU), Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC), and Delirium Detection Score (DDS) used to identify delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The study involves ...
This study found that DDS was associated with delirium incidence at the time of admission to the emergency department. The association persisted in the multivariate analysis along with 6 of the 26 known risks and precipitating factors for delirium. DDS is an assessment tool for the detection of ...
Diagnostic methods used include the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC), the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM/CAM-ICU), the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC), the Delirium Detection Score (DDS), the Richmond Agitation–Sedation Scale (RASS), the Riker Sedation Scale and ...
The Delirium Detection Score showed a sensitivity of 30% and a specificity of 91% [43]. The above-mentioned instruments are our best tools for the early detection of delirium in the ICU, but their widespread application has some limitations. First, studies show quite different sensitivities for...

Due to the limited number of papers, the meta-analysis included the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) and its variants, Delirium Detection Score (DDS) and Nurses' Delirium Screening Checklist (NuDESC). Overall, NuDESC demonstrated higher sensitivity than CAM or DDS, while all showed high ...
