InterventionTwo nurses independently assessed delirium in ICU patients and the results were compared with the reference evaluation, which was carried out by a psychiatrist using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV).

Assessment of delirium was performed three times a week and continued until the enrolled patients left the medical ICU. All the assessments were done between three and seven o'clock in the afternoon to avoid any bias from changes in patients' condition.
