Trial summary

Delirium is a severe acute brain dysfunction characterised by sudden confusion, inattention and fluctuating level of consciousness, which mainly affects intubated intensive care patients. It increases the risk of self-extubation, prolongs ICU stay and increases mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of PRE-DELIRIC-Guided SMART/SmART Care in Reducing Delirium Incidence Among Surgical Intensive Care Unit Patients

Delirium is a severe acute brain dysfunction characterised by sudden confusion, inattention and fluctuating level of consciousness, which mainly affects intubated intensive care patients. It increases the risk of self-extubation, prolongs ICU stay and increases mortality. The incidence of delirium in ICUs varies, with approximately 33.3% of patients affected, and rates of new-onset and pre-existing delirium range from 4% to 89%. Accurate diagnosis is challenging, with 60-80% of patients remaining undiagnosed. Early detection is critical for intervention and improved outcomes.

To address these issues, the PREdiction of DELIRium (PRE-DELIRIC) model incorporates 10 risk factors and predicts delirium within 24 hours of ICU admission, allowing risk stratification into low to very high risk categories. It recalibrates predictive values with a sensitivity of 91.3% and specificity of 64.4% using a cut-off score of 27%. However, its integration into delirium management is underexplored. Delirium risk stratification supports efficient resource allocation, cost control, workload reduction and ethical care, while promptly identifying high-risk patients.

In this study, Investigators evaluate the integration of the PRE-DELIRIC model into a comprehensive delirium management approach called PRE-DELIRIC-guided SMART/SmART care. SMART care includes improving familiarity, assessing pain and anxiety, reducing equipment discomfort and cognitive stimulation. Patients with PRE-DELIRIC scores >30% receive SMART care and multidisciplinary involvement, based on the American Delirium Society.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the incidence of delirium

    The incidence of delirium which was assessed by each shift primary ICU nurse by using the ICDSC.

    Measured: duration of ICU stay (postoperative 30 days)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. duration of ventilator use

    duration of ventilator use

    Measured: duration of ICU stay( (postoperative 30 days)

  2. rate of unplanned self-extubation

    indicates the proportion of patients who unintentionally remove their endotracheal tubes (Yes/No)

    Measured: duration of intubation( (postoperative 30 days)

  3. day of physical restraint

    day of physical restraint

    Measured: duration of ICU stay (postoperative 30 days)

  4. level of mobility

    level 0-10 of mobility

    Measured: duration of ICU stay (postoperative 30 days)

  5. cumulative dose of sedatives

    Sedatives cumulative drugs include midazolam, propofol and dexmedetomidine record 24hours

    Measured: duration of ICU stay (postoperative 30 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intensive Care Unit Delirium, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 28 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

the incidence of delirium (time frame: duration of ICU stay (postoperative 30 days)). 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 28 Feb 2024.
