Guidelines recommend daily delirium monitoring of hospitalized patients. Available delirium-screening tools have not been validated for use by nurses among diverse inpatients. We sought to validate the Nursing Delirium-Screening Scale (Nu-DESC) under these circumstances. A blinded cross-sectional and quality-improvement study was conducted from August 2015–February 2016. Nurses’ Nu-DESC scores were compared to delirium diagnosis according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5) criteria. A total of 405 consecutive hospitalized patients were included. Nu-DESC-positive (threshold score ≥2) patients were matched with equal numbers of Nu-DESC-negative patients, by sex, age, and nursing unit. Nurses recorded a Nu-DESC score for each patient on every 12-hour shift. A Nu-DESC-blinded evaluator interviewed patients for 2 consecutive days. Delirium diagnosis was determined by physicians using DSM-5 criteria applied to collected research data. Sensitivity and specificity of the Nu-DESC were calculated. In an exploratory analysis, the performance of the Nu-DESC was analyzed with the addition of bedside measures of attention. The sensitivity of the Nu-DESC at a threshold of ≥2 was 42% (95% CI: 33–53%). Specificity was 98% (97– 98%). At a threshold of ≥1, sensitivity was 67% (52– 80%) and specificity 93% (90–95%). Similar results were found with the addition of attention tasks. The Nu-DESC is a specific delirium detection tool, but it is not sensitive at the usually proposed cut point of ≥2. Using a threshold of ≥1 or adding a test of attention increase sensitivity with a minor decrease in specificity.
