ICU sedation, delirium & recovery

Mortality Predictions Including Pre‐Admission Functional Status in ICU Patients With Delirium—A Substudy of the AID ‐ ICU Trial

Acta Anaesthesiol ScandPublished Prediction model development study

Authors' conclusion

The models showed fair discrimination and good calibration, with frailty, age, SMS-ICU, advanced cancer, and surgical admission as key predictors.

Study context

Population
Adult delirious ICU patients in the against Delirium in the Intensive Care Unit (AID-ICU) trial with pre-admission Clinical Frailty Scale, Comorbidity-Polypharmacy Score and Barthel-20 data
Participants
630 vs 610
Comparison
90-day mortality model vs 1-year mortality model
  • 90-day mortality modeln = 630
  • 1-year mortality modeln = 610
Primary endpoint
Prediction of 90-day and 1-year mortality (discrimination, calibration)
Methodological detailssubstudy of the AID-ICU randomised trial, internal validation by bootstrapping adjusting for optimism, elastic net regression, three highest-enrolling hospitals
  • Substudy of the AID-ICU randomised trial
  • Internal validation by bootstrapping adjusting for optimism
  • Elastic net regression
