TO THE EDITOR:
We read Marcantonio and colleagues' article (1) with great interest. The early recognition of delirium across all hospital settings is an important factor in patient safety and care. Nurses caring for patients have the best opportunity to recognize a disorder that fluctuates over time, such as this condition. The ultimate goal of having a brief and accurate tool to aid nurses in the early detection of delirium without adding excess burden to ever-increasing nurse charting time is important. Marcantonio and colleagues did, indeed, show that the 3D-CAM (3D-Confusion Assessment Method) decreases the time to complete delirium assessment to 3 minutes while maintaining high sensitivity and specificity.
