简要总结

Delirium is common in older emergency department (ED) patients and often remains unrecognized. Existing instruments to detect delirium are often time consuming and therefore not feasible in the busy ED setting In this study the investigators tested the feasibility of the newly developed modified confusion assessment method (mCAM-ED).
