Description
M M L Fochi and others tested an ultra-brief two-question screen for delirium in hospitalised older adults, in 2026. Delirium is common in older inpatients and linked to worse results, yet ward teams often miss it. A fast, standard check could catch cases that busy medical routines overlook.
People aged sixty-five or older were tested with the UB-2 screener within forty-eight hours of admission in public hospitals, and its work was checked against a fuller reference testing. The study reports how well the two items separate people with delirium from those without it. Readers learn whether such a short tool is trustworthy enough for routine ward use.
