delirium assessment method used for the ITEMID (228332)

[scorpioneuro]

Hi Support Team,
In MIMIC-IV, there is an ITEMID 228332 that says "delirium assessment".
Can you tell me what assessment method was used for the ITEMID (228332)?
Is it CAM-ICU?

Are there any rows for that itemid? If I remember there was an empty itemid for delirium assessment.

Either way yes they do use CAM-ICU. There are at least two itemid (at least, if I recall some components may be stored separately as yes/no answers). Mid way through data collection they removed the ability to document CAM-ICU as "Unable to assess", i.e. there had to be a yes/no decision. This increased the rate of delirium. Just something to be aware of.
