Summary

In this prospective, multicenter observational study we assess the diagnostic validity of the following standard screening instruments for delirium regarding sedation, analgesia and ventilator status in critically ill patients:

* Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU)
* Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC)
* Nursing-Delirium-Screening-Scale (Nu-DESC)

The definite delirium diagnosis (definite in terms of reference standard) is made according to the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th Edition, text revised (DSM-IV-TR) published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) which is the Gold Standard to diagnose delirium.

Primary research question: Does sedation, ventilator status and analgesia influence the sensitivity of delirium screening tools (DST)?
