Validation study of the Malay version of the 3-minute diagnostic interview for confusion assessment method defined delirium (3D-CAM) / Chin Yi Zhe

Background: Postoperative delirium is an increasingly recognized geriatric conundrum that complicates 12-51 °'o of the elderly population after surgery. But it is often overlooked and under-diagnosed. The 3D-CAM tool, which was recently validated as a rapid instrument for identifying delirium,...

The 3D-CAM tool, which was recently validated as a rapid instrument for identifying delirium, has the potential to empower relevant clinicians to diagnose postoperative delirium earlier for prompter interventions to improve patients• overall outcome.

Methods: The 3D-CAM was translated and culturally adapted to the Malay version in keeping with existing guidelines on translation. Subsequently, recruited post-operative elderly patients, aged 65 and above, were separately and independently assessed for delirium by two trained anaesthetic registrars using the Malay 3D-CAM tool against the reference diagnosis by a psychiatrist using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V (DSM-V) to test the validity and reliability of the Malay 3D-CAM.
