This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness of the postoperative delirium prevention, diagnosis and intervention protocol in patients monitored in the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery.
Background: Delirium is a common and serious condition in hospitalized patients that often leads to extended hospital stays and increased healthcare costs. Accurate and timely detection is essential for optimal patient outcome. Aims: This study aimed to adapt the internationally recognized 4 AT Delirium Diagnosis Scale to Turkish and to evaluate the validity and reliability of this tool for the Turkish patient population. Design: This study was structured and conducted at a state hospital from March to June 2023. Methods: The study included 188 participants, determined through a power analysis. The 4AT Delirium Test and additional assessment tools were used to ascertain the delirium status of the patients. Comprehensive statistical evaluations were conducted using SPSS 25.0, which included analyses, such as item difficulty indices, item discrimination, and chi-square tests. Ethical approval for this study was granted by the Non-Interventional Ethics Committee, ensured full compliance with the ethical standards set by the World Medical Association's Declaration of Helsinki. All participants provided informed consent before participation. Additionally, our results strictly adhered to the guidelines of the STROBE Checklist.
Delirium is a phenomenon which affects patients with various disorders and representing various age groups. Screening instruments make it possible to diagnose the condition at an early stage and to prevent its development. The aim of the study is to examine the reliability and validity of the Polish version of the 4AT (Pol4-AT) in patients after cardiac surgery. Procedure of validation: After obtaining the author's consent, the original English version of the 4AT was separately translated by 3 centres working on the validation of the Pol4-AT (University of Rzeszów, Poland; University Hospital in England; Karolinska University, Sweden). Then, three translations were compared, to be approved by the project supervisor (Karolinska University). Any doubts arising during the comparison were consulted with the English translator. As a result, one coherent version was accepted and translated back into English. The questionnaire was distributed in a convenient sample of 20 patients to examine the validity of the face. Vague words and statements were changed, and the final version translated into Polish was created. The Pol4-AT was tested for internal consistency and reliability.
The Study is a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trials. The Objective is to investigate the effect of single-high-dose glucocorticoid on surgical stress response and postoperative delirium among Elderly hip Fracture Patients undergoing surgery.
Despite recent advances in postoperative delirium research, the proportion of children with postoperative delirium is still high. Although postoperative delirium is a frequent complication and is associated with the need for more inpatient hospital care and longer length of hospital stay, little is known about risk factors for recovery room delirium (RRD) occurred in postanaesthesia care unit. The aim of the study was to determine pre- and intraoperative risk factors for the development of RRD among children undergoing non cardiovascular surgery.
