简要总结
To investigate the usefulness of the Informant Questionaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) to predict delirium in elderly patients admitted to Emergency Department (ED) with geriatric assessment and transferred to Geriatric ward.
详细描述
Design: The project will be conducted as a prospective study.
Methods:
Exposure: The short IQCODE is a 16-item questionnaire that ask relatives about changes in the elderly patients cognitive performance over the previous 10 years. The score range from one to five, with a high score reflecting bad evolution through the years.
Settings: Patients (aged ≥75 years) admitted to ED (medical and surgery) and transferred to a geriatric ward at Aarhus University Hospital, who meet the inclusion criteria will be asked if the staff is allowed to contact their relatives. By oral consent, the relatives are interviewed by telephone or at the hospital. The IQCODE are filled in during the interview.
In the geriatric ward the assessment of delirium by a positive Confusion Assesment Method (CAM) is done twice a day and is part of the regular procedure in the Geriatric Department at Aarhus University Hospital.
