Delirium is a common and clinically important syndrome among hospitalized patients, and failure to recognize it may lead to inappropriate management and poorer outcomes. However, in hospitalized patients with non-cancer progressive life-limiting illnesses, the gap between delirium detected by a standardized tool and delirium recognized and documented by the clinical team has not been sufficiently studied. This multicenter study aims to estimate the proportion of delirium cases identified by trained raters using the 4AT on the same day that are also recognized and documented as delirium by physicians or nurses in the medical record. In addition, the study will explore point prevalence of delirium, associations of recognition status with outcomes and interventions, and inter-facility variation.
