About this study

Official title: Validation Study of the Malay Version of the 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method Defined Delirium (3D-CAM)

Validation of the Malay version of 3D-CAM, involving two-staged process.

  1. Translation and cultural adaptation of 3D-CAM into the Malay language.
  2. Testing for Validity and Reliability of the translated 3D-CAM tool to detect postoperative delirium.
Read the detailed description
  1. Translation and Cultural Adaptation The research panel, who consisted of experts in the clinical field of anesthesia, did the meticulous process of translation and cultural adaptation of 3D-CAM. This process included independent translation by the research panel, reconciliation of two independent translated 3D-CAM, ethics approval prior to pilot study on 20 relevant subjects, back translation into English and finalizing the Malay version of 3D-CAM for the next phase of testing.
  2. Testing for Validity and Reliability of the translated 3D-CAM tool

Patients were recruited pre-operatively after reading the patient's information sheet and signing the informed consent.

Post-operatively, two trained assessors separately administered the Malay 3D-CAM on the recruited patients. One of the trained assessors administered the original 3D-CAM on the same patients at a different time. Standard reference of diagnosing delirium was made by a psychiatrist using the DSM V criteria, after interviewing the patients.

  1. For validity, the diagnosis of delirium made using the Malay 3D-CAM tool was tested against the standard reference for diagnosing delirium according to the DSM V criteria made by a psychiatrist
  2. For inter-rater reliability, the diagnosis of delirium made by two trained assessors using the Malay 3D-CAM tool were statistically compared.
  3. For parallel reliability, the diagnosis of delirium made using the Malay 3D-CAM was compared to the original English version of 3D-CAM.
Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Malay 3D-CAM diagnostic tool 1 and Malay 3D-CAM Diagnostic tool 2 in people with Postoperative Delirium and Diagnosis, Psychiatric, run by University of Malaya.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Construct Validity (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Dec 2017.
