2011, Article / Letter to editor (American Journal of Respiratory Critical Care Care Medicine, vol. 184, iss. 3, (2011), pp. 340-344)Delirium is often unrecognized in ICU patients and associated with poor outcome. Screening for ICU delirium is recommended by several medical organizations to improve early diagnosis and treatment. The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) has high sensitivity and specificity for delirium when administered by research nurses. However, test characteristics of the CAM-ICU as performed in routine practice are unclear.

Numerous studies to validate the CAM-ICU always yielded excellent sensitivity and specificity, but were all performed by a limited number of research nurses.
