Evaluation of the PRE-DELIRIC (PREdiction of DELIRium in ICu patients)
delirium prediction model in intensive care units in Turkey
Abstract
Purpose: This methodological study was aimed to the Turkish adaptation
and validation of the “PRE-DELIRIC Score” delirium prediction model in
patients hospitalized in the ICU. Method: The study was conducted with
patients who were treated in the ICUs of a training and research
hospital between October 2019 and April 2020. The data were collected
with (1) the Data Collection Form for the Descriptive Characteristics of
the Subjects, (2) the PRE-DELIRIC Score, and (3) the Confusion
Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU). The ROC analysis and diagnosis
screening tests were used to determine the cut-off point according to
the groups. The sensitivity and specificity characteristic of the score
were calculated. Significance was evaluated at the p<0.05
level. Results: The study was completed with 172 patients. A
statistically significant relationship was found between the cut-off
point obtained for the PRE-DELIRIC Score (≥7.58%) and the groups (p=
0.003). The risk of being CAM-ICU positive was 7.404 times higher in
patients with a PRE-DELIRIC Score of 7.58 or more (OR:7.404; 95%
CI:1.638-33.469). Conclusion: The PRE-DELIRIC Score was evaluated in
this study and the PRE-DELIRIC Score was found to be easy to administer
with reliable results.
