Quantifying the severity of delirium is essential to advance clinical care through improved understanding of delirium impact, prognosis, pathophysiology, and response to treatment. To develop and validate a new delirium severity measure (CAM-S) based on the Confusion Assessment Method Validation analysis in two independent cohorts. Three academic medical centers First cohort included 300 patients age ≥ 70 years scheduled for major surgery; second included 919 medicine admissions age ≥ 70 years. A 4-item short form and 10-item long-form were developed. The association of the maximal CAM-S score during hospitalization with hospital and post-hospital outcomes related to delirium was evaluated. CAM-S scores demonstrated strong associations with all clinical outcomes examined, with significant gradients across severity categories in adjusted analyses, adding substantively to delirium diagnoses alone. Representative results included adjusted mean length of stay (LOS), which increased across levels of CAM-S short form severity from 6.5 (95% confidence interval, CI, 6.2-6.9) to 12.7 days (95% CI, 11.2-14.3)(Ptrend < 0.001). Comparable results across increasing levels of the CAM-S long form severity were 5.6 (95% CI, 5.1-6.1) to 11.9 days (95% CI, 10.8-12.9) (Ptrend < 0.001). Representative results for the composite outcome of adjusted relative risk of death or nursing home residence at 90 days increased across levels of CAM-S short form severity from 1.0 (referent) to 2.5 (95% CI, 1.9-3.3)(Ptrend < 0.001). Comparable results for the CAM-S long form severity were 1.0 (referent) to 2.5 (95% CI, 1.6-3.7) (Ptrend < 0.001). Data on clinical outcomes were drawn from an older dataset involving patients age 70 years and older. CAM-S provides a new delirium severity measure with strong psychometric properties and strong associations with important clinical outcomes.
