New study reveals how often kids in swedish ICUs experience delirium
NCT ID NCT07365215
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 676 children in Swedish pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) to find out how often delirium occurs and what factors increase the risk. Delirium is a sudden change in mental state causing confusion or trouble paying attention. The researchers used a simple screening tool called the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium (CAPD) to check each child daily. The goal was to better understand and identify delirium in critically ill children.
