| Description | The aim was to standardise a Czech version test CAM-ICU. The assessment of CAM-ICUcz validity to detect delirium, compared with the expert assessment was performed in patients with: A. Acute cerebral stroke: n = 80; B. Mechanical ventilation: n = 10; C. Dementia: n = 34; D. Depression: n = 20; E. Schizophrenia: n = 22. Results: The expert assessment found an episode of delirium in 37 stroke patients (46.25%). The sensitivity and specificity of CAM-ICUcz were 97.3% and 93.0% respectively. The test was performable even in mechanically ventilated patients, with delirium detected in 50% of patients and 100% concordance with the expert assessment. CAM-ICUcz was negative in all patients with dementia, depression and schizophrenia (specificity 100%). Conclusion: CAM-ICUcz is a suitable screening test for detection of delirium in the intensive care setting. |
