Objective: The goal of the present study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation and clinical validation of the Preschool Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit–Spanish (psCAM-ICU-S) for its clinical use in the Colombian Population.Methods: We designed a Cross-cultural adaptation study followed by a cross-sectional validation study at a Single-center Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at a University Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. The study population was children aged from 6 months to 5 years and 11 months who had been treated in the PICU with a Richmond sedation-agitation scale score of−3 or higher. A three-phase study was carried out. The first phase comprised the application of psychometric tests on the tool. In the second phase, the psCAM-ICU-S was applied to the target population. Patients were evaluated by a nurse and a pediatric intensivist using the psCAM-ICU-S; additionally, a child psychiatrist evaluated each patient using the DSM-V criteria; the psychiatrist evaluation was chosen as the gold standard for the diagnosis of delirium. In the third phase, an evaluation of the tool's effectiveness was carried out by using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and likelihood ratios. Interrater agreement was also assessed by using the Fleiss' kappa.Results: Psychometric tests established the instrument's reliability and consistency as well as the clarity of its items. A total of 31 patients were evaluated. On average, the instrument presented a sensitivity of 93.3%, specificity of 94.8%, PPV 78%, NPV 99%, a positive likelihood ratio of 19.93, and a negative ratio of 0.07. The prevalence of delirium was 16.1% by the child psychiatrist and 25.8% using de psCAM-ICU-S. We confirmed high Interrater agreement, Kappa index (0.672–0.902).Conclusions: The psCAM-ICU-S was a valid and reliable instrument for the diagnosis of delirium in critically ill pediatric patients.

Abstract Background Postoperative delirium (POD) is a relevant and underdiagnosed complication after cardiac surgery that is associated with increased intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay (LOS). The aim of this subgroup study was to compare the frequency of tested POD versus the coded International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) diagnosis of POD and to evaluate the influence of POD on LOS in ICU and hospital. Methods 254 elective cardiac surgery patients (mean age, 70.5 ± 6.4 years) at the University Hospital Bonn between September 2018 and October 2019 were evaluated. The endpoint tested POD was considered positive, if one of the tests Confusion Assessment Method for ICU (CAM-ICU) or Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), 4 'A's Test (4AT) or Delirium Observation Scale (DOS) was positive on one day. Results POD occurred in 127 patients (50.0%). LOS in ICU and hospital were significantly different based on presence (ICU 165.0 ± 362.7 h; Hospital 26.5 ± 26.1 days) or absence (ICU 64.5 ± 79.4 h; Hospital 14.6 ± 6.7 days) of POD (p < 0.001). The multiple linear regression showed POD as an independent predictor for a prolonged LOS in ICU (48%; 95%CI 31–67%) and in hospital (64%; 95%CI 27–110%) (p < 0.001). The frequency of POD in the study participants that was coded with the ICD F05.0 and F05.8 by hospital staff was considerably lower than tests revealed by the study personnel. Conclusion Approximately 50% of elderly patients who underwent cardiac surgery developed POD, which is associated with an increased ICU and hospital LOS. Furthermore, POD is highly underdiagnosed in clinical routine.

O presente estudo objetivou descrever o processo de adaptação transcultural do Family Satisfaction with Care in the Intensive Care Unit (FS-ICU 24) para o português do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo metodológico de adaptação transcultural que percorreu as seguintes etapas: tradução do instrumento para o português do Brasil; obtenção do primeiro consenso das versões em português; avaliação da versão consenso pelo comitê de especialistas; back-translation (retro tradução); obtenção do consenso das versões em inglês e comparação com a versão original; equivalência semântica dos itens e; pré-teste. Os resultados apontaram para as equivalências semântica, idiomática e conceitual adequadas entre a versão final em português e a original em inglês, bem como para a compreensão e fácil aplicação do instrumento traduzido e adaptado para a cultura brasileira. Concluiu-se que a adaptação transcultural do FS-ICU (24) originou uma versão confiável, a qual precisará ser  testada na população alvo e aprovada quanto à sua validade e confiabilidade.

AbstractBackground:To investigate the predictive value of S100 (biochemical marker of neuroglial injury) for the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB)-surgery.Methods:We enrolled 92 patients older than 18 years undergoing elective OPCAB-surgery. Serum-levels of S100 were determined at baseline (BL), end of surgery (EOS) and on the first postoperative day (PD1). Postoperatively, all-patients were evaluated daily until PD5 for the presence of POD using the confusion assessment method (CAM) or the confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit (CAM-ICU) for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).Results:The overall incidence of POD was 21%. S100-values on PD1 significantly predicted the occurrence of POD during the later hospital stay [area under the curve (AUC)=0.724 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.619–0.814); p=0.0001] with an optimal cut-off level of 123 pg mLConclusions:S100-levels <123 pg mL
