Key findings:
- 22 eligible HFRs were identified
- 64% collected delirium assessment data
- 82% collected cognitive assessment data
- Heterogeneity in recommended delirium and cognitive assessment tools (although 50% recommended the 4AT), cut-off scores, and tool completion and positive score rates.
While most identified HFRs recommended delirium and/or cognitive assessment, there was considerable variation in methods of assessment and documentation.
Greater standardisation in data items and their collection could improve international comparability and patient care.
