Table 3 Risk Stratification of agitated delirium after cardiac surgery at indicated time points

From: Dynamic predictive scores for cardiac surgery-associated agitated delirium: a single-center retrospective observational study

Total score

Preoperative

ICU admittance

24 h after ICU admittance

0–2

Low (< 5.0%)

Low (< 5.0%)

Low (< 5.0%)

3–4

Medium–high (≥ 5.0%)

Medium (5.0–25%)

Medium (5.0–25%)

5–7

 

High (> 25%)

High (> 25%)

  1. Example: if a patient get total scores ≤ 2, his predicted risk of postoperative agitated delirium following cardiac surgery is low (less than 5.0%)
