Objectives.-To prospectively develop and validate a predictive model for delirium based on precipitating factors during hospitalization, and to examine the interrelationship of precipitating factors and baseline vulnerability.Design.-Two prospective cohort studies, in tandem.Setting.-General medical wards, university teaching hospital.Patients.-For the development cohort, 196 patients aged 70 years and older with no delirium at baseline, and for the validation cohort, 312 comparable patients.Main Outcome Measure.-New-onset delirium by hospital day 9, defined by the Confusion Assessment Method diagnostic criteria.Results.-Delirium developed in 35 patients (18%) in the development cohort. Five independent precipitating factors for delirium were identified: use of physical restraints (adjusted relative risk [RR], 4.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.5 to 7.9), malnutrition (RR, 4.0; 95% CI, 2.2 to 7.4), more than three medications added (RR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.6 to 5.4), use of bladder catheter (RR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.2 to 4.7), and any iatrogenic event (RR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1 to 3.2). Each precipitating factor preceded the onset of delirium by more than 24 hours. A risk stratification system was developed by adding 1 point for each factor present. Rates of delirium for low-risk (0 points), intermediate-risk (1 to 2 points), and high-risk groups (greater than or equal to 3 points) were 3%, 20%, and 59%, respectively (P
