Journal Article
Shenkin, S., Fox, C., Godfrey, M., Siddiqi, N., Goodacre, S., Young, J., …MacLullich, A. (2019). Delirium detection in older acute medical inpatients: a multicentre prospective comparative diagnostic test accuracy study of the 4AT and the Confusion Asse

Background: Delirium affects >15% of hospitalised patients but is grossly underdetected, contributing to poor care. The 4 ‘A’s Test (4AT; www.the4AT.com) is a short delirium assessment tool designed for routine use without special training. The prim...
