This study attempts to validate the Greek version of the CAM Diagnostic Algorithm and Nu-DESC in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
Accurate diagnosis for Greek speaking patients suffering from postoperative delirium is limited by the need for a translation of standardized tools that were investigated for their inter-rater reliability/agreement.
Our primary aim is to validate the Greek version of the CAM Diagnostic Algorithm and Nu-DESC in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Our secondary aim is to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of NuDESK in our population.
This study will provide the first official Greek translation of CAM and Nu-DESC, according to the ISPOR guidelines, and the first evaluation of their inter-rater agreement.
1,057 studies on the registry are indexed under Delirium; 238 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 60 is below the median of 200 across 418 observational studies indexed under Delirium.

Patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia assessed for POD with CAM and Nu-DESC
Other: CAM, Nu-DESC
Two trained raters, who are blinded and have no access to each other's evaluation, administer the CAM and Nu-DESC questionnaires in each shift, during the first postoperative day after the discharge from the post-anaesthesia care unit, independently. The two assessments are completed within 60 minutes of each other. If the research team set the diagnosis of POD, the appropriate treatment will be initiated, according to the Hospital's protocol
