Italian Version of the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium: Evaluation of the Scale Reliability and Ability to Detect Delirium Compared to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Physicians Clinical Evaluation

Delirium is an acute brain dysfunction associated with increased length of hospitalization, mortality, and high healthcare costs especially in patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium (CAPD) is a screening tool for evaluating delirium in pediatric patients. This tool has already been used and validated in other languages but not in Italian.
