Delirium Incidence, Duration and Severity in Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19 2020-06-01 .txt text/plain 3702 222 47 Background Delirium incidence, duration and severity in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to COVID-19 is not known. Therefore, we conducted this study at two large academic health systems in urban Midwest to measure incidence of delirium, delirium duration and delirium severity, and investigate risk factors associated with delirium in critically ill patients admitted with COVID-19. Patients who were discharged from the intensive care unit prior to 14 days did not have subsequent delirium or coma assessments performed outside the ICU. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.31.20118679 doi: medRxiv preprint cohort, hypoactive delirium occurred in 86.8% of patients on the first CAM-ICU assessment, and the median duration of hypoactive delirium was 4 days (IQR: 2-4). Delirium was defined as a positive CAM-ICU assessment in the patient medical record for up to 14 days during their ICU COVID-19 stay.
