Special Section: Studies to Understand Delirium In Palliative Settings (SUNDIPS)Practical Assessment of Delirium in Palliative CareAbstractContextDelirium is a common, distressing neuropsychiatric complication for patients in palliative care settings, where the need to minimize burden yet accurately assess delirium is hugely challenging. ObjectivesThis review focused on the optimal clinical and research application of delirium assessment tools and methods in palliative care settings. MethodsIn addition to multidisciplinary input from delirium researchers and other relevant stakeholders at an international meeting, we searched PubMed (1990–2012) and relevant reference lists to identify delirium assessment tools used either exclusively or partly in the context of palliative care. ResultsOf the 26 delirium scales identified, we selected six for in-depth review: three screening tools, two severity measures, and one research tool for neuropsychological assessment of delirium. These tools differed regarding intended use, ease of use, training requirements, psychometric properties, and validation in or suitability for palliative care populations. The Nursing Delirium Screening Scale, Single Question in Delirium, or Confusion Assessment Method, ideally with a brief attention test, can effectively screen for delirium. Favoring inclusivity, use of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV criteria gives the best results for delirium diagnosis. The Revised Delirium Rating Scale and the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale are the best available options for monitoring severity, and the Cognitive Test for Delirium provides detailed neuropsychological assessment for research purposes. ConclusionGiven the unique characteristics of patients in palliative care settings, further contextually sensitive studies of delirium assessment are required in this population.

What is the best way to diagnose delirium?A health care provider can diagnose delirium based on medical history and tests of mental status.. Medical history. The provider will ask what changed in the last few days. ... . Mental status review. ... . Physical and neurological exams. ... . Other tests.. What assessment tools can be used to identify a cognitive impairment and delirium?An improvement in a person's test scores, once treatment has been administered, can help to confirm a diagnosis of delirium. The most commonly used cognitive assessment tools in the hospital setting are: the Standardised Mini Mental-State Examination (SMMSE) the Abbreviated Mental Test Score (AMTS)
What tools can I use to help detect delirium UK?The 4'A's Test (4AT) was the most widely used tool, with 117/146 (80%) units reporting use. The Confusion Assessment Method was used in 65/146 (45%) units, and the Single Question to identify Delirium (SQiD) in 52/146 (36%) units.
