Scientific titleAlgorithm-based diagnosis and symptom-orientated treatment of delirium in intensive care unit (ICU)-patients
Study objectivesCurrent hypothesis as of 26/06/2015:
Adherence to delirium monitoring as an additional level of care results in an improved clinical outcome.
Secondly we hypothesize that symptom-orientated treatment of delirious deficits results in improved clinical outcome.

Previous hypothesis:
Stepwise symptom-orientated early treatment of predelirium leads to less severity and shorter duration of delirium and better outcome.

On 26/06/2015 the following changes were made to the trial record:
1. The overall trial start date was changed from 01/08/2007 to 01/02/2007
2. The overall trial end date was changed from 31/07/2009 to 31/05/2008

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedScreening for delirium in Intensive Care Unit
InterventionCurrent interventions as of 26/06/2015:
Diagnosis and treatment of delirium are made according to internal hospital Standard Operating Procedures. Every patient gets a delirium screening with the use of either the:
1. Delirium Detection Score (DDS), or the
2. Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU.

Data collection in this study will be performed prospectively.. There will be a short analysis of the preliminary data collection from 2006.

Previous interventions:
Diagnosis and treatment of delirium are made according to internal hospital Standard Operating Procedures. Every patient with impaired consciousness gets a delirium screening with the use of two different scoring systems:
1. Delirium Detection Score (DDS)
2. Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU

Ongoing symptom-orientated delirium therapy will be initiated.

Data collection in this study will be performed prospectively. Final analysis of all outcome data will be performed after the anticipated end date of the trial. There will be a short analysis of the preliminary data collection every 6 months.
