Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Delirium is common in older emergency department (ED) patients and often remains unrecognized. Existing instruments to detect delirium are often time consuming and therefore not feasible in the busy ED setting In this study the investigators tested the feasibility of the newly developed modified confusion assessment method (mCAM-ED).
