Objective: Delirium may lead to adverse outcomes in patients with serious conditions, but is often under-diagnosed due to inadequate-screening. The Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) is an established method for assessing delirium in the ICU. The validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the CAM-ICU has not, however, been Verified, and we undertook this study to verify these parameters.Research methodology: CAM-ICU validity and reliability were assessed in two Japanese ICUs. Using the evaluation of the DMS-IV-TR in the psychiatrists group as the standard criteria for delirium diagnosis, we compared the evaluation of the Japanese version of the CAM-ICU between the research nurses group and the staff nurses group.Results: According to DSM-IV-TR criteria, the prevalence of delirium was 22.0%, and according to CAM-ICU delirium was found in 22.0% with Research Nurses and 19.5% with Staff Nurses. CAM-ICU sensitivity ratings were 83% and 78%, while their specificity ratings were 95% and 97%, respectively. The Kappa inter-rater reliability was good (kappa =0.85), and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.57-0.79). Mean rating time for the CAM-ICU was 2.5-2.8 minutes for Research Nurses and Staff Nurses, respectively.Conclusion: The Japanese version of the CAM-ICU has comparable validity and reliability as a delirium assessment tool in surgical patients in two Japanese ICUs. With training, CAM-ICU can be incorporated into daily clinical practice. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
