External validity of an automated delirium prediction model (DEMO) and comparison to the manual VMS-questions: a retrospective cohort study

ConclusionThe DEMO showed acceptable performance for delirium prediction. Overall the DEMO predicted more delirium cases because the VMS-questions were missing in 20% of admissions. This study shows that automated instruments such as DEMO could play a key role in the efficient and timely deployment of measures to prevent delirium.
