title: [The Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC)--translation and validation of intensive care delirium checklist in accordance with guidelines].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Although Delirium is the most common psychiatric disease in ICU settings, it is recognized late or not at all in up to 84 % of all cases.
  
  
  METHODS
  Translation of the ICDSC, in accordance with ISPOR guidelines and validation by conducting a screening of 68 ICU patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The translation process was authorized by the original author. The final German translation of the ICDSC showed a sensitivity and specificity of 89 % and 57 % respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The ICDSC is suitable for delirium screening by nurses even on ventilated patients. Besides a high sensitivity another advantage is the possibility to screen for a subsyndromal delirium.
