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.
This study attempts to validate the Greek version of the CAM Diagnostic Algorithm and Nu-DESC in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
