ICU delirium tests misclassify Spanish-speakers, research suggests

Delirium is common in the ICU, and guidelines call for daily screening. Now a new study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference suggests that standard screening tests may result in the misclassification of the delirium status of Spanish-speaking patients. The research also shows that a Spanish-language screening tool that involves family caregivers outperforms conventional screening practices.
