Key findings:
- 22 eligible HFRs were identified
- 64% collected delirium assessment data
- 82% collected cognitive assessment data
- Heterogeneity in recommended delirium and cognitive assessment tools (although 50% recommended the 4AT), cut-off scores, and tool completion and positive score rates.
