Add to ORKGObjective: To develop and validate a new standardized confusion assessment method (CAM) that enables nonpsychiatric clinicians to detect delirium quickly in high-risk settings. Design: Prospective validation study. Setting: Conducted in general medicine wards and in an outpa-tient geriatric assessment center at Yale University (site 1) and in general medicine wards at the University of Chicago (site 2). Patients: The study included 56 subjects, ranging in age from 65 to 98 years. At site 1, 10 patients with and 20 without delirium participated; at site 2, 16 patients with and 10 without delirium participated. Measurements and Main Results: An expert panel developed the CAM through a consensus building process. The CAM instrument, which can ...
