The directory

Delirium assessment tools

Search the core directory by tool name, abbreviation or alias. Use the category and filter controls to browse by clinical role, setting, patient group or another practical characteristic. Open any profile for administration, evidence, limitations, access status and a reliable instrument link where one has been verified.

Role, context and evidence are separate dimensions. “Assessment”, “monitoring”, “informant” and “intensive care” do not sit on one clinical ladder. Diagnostic-accuracy labels are not overall evidence rankings, and “Reference checked” confirms citation metadata only. See the practical taxonomy or learn how to read the evidence labels. This filterable view shows the core directory; open the complete A–Z index of all 130 public profiles for versions, emerging and contextual records.

Searches tool names, abbreviations and aliases only. Use the filters below to browse by category, population or setting.

CSV scope and data dictionary

The export contains the current filtered core-directory rows, not the 48 contextual records in the complete A–Z. Formula-like cell values are neutralised for safer spreadsheet opening.

Identity and scope
abbr, name, year, multi-select role/characteristic categories, population, settings, profile_type and family_id. Category labels are grouped by dimension in the interface; they are not one purpose scale.
Evidence and metrics
evidence, reference_type, sensitivity, specificity, source type/identifier/year, denominator state, reference standard and metric note. An unresolved source field is an explicit gap, not permission to infer a source from the profile citation.
Traceability
Reference-check state, PMID, DOI, source URL, public profile URL, instrument/access URL and access state.
Release context
Current diagnostic-test-accuracy study count, clinical/content version and export date.

Sensitivity and specificity, where shown, are reported figures from the metric source identified in the data record; they are not implied to be pooled meta-analytic estimates. They will differ across settings and populations. Pooled figures for selected well-studied tools, with their own citations, are on the Compare page. This directory is medical information, not individual clinical advice.
