Summary

This study tested a French version of the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), a tool to quickly diagnose acute confusion (delirium) in elderly patients. Researchers compared the CAM results with a psychiatrist's diagnosis using standard criteria. The goal was to see how accurate the French CAM is, so doctors can better identify and treat confusion in older adults.
