What criteria should be used for the diagnosis of delirium?

B Liptzin. Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord. 1999 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

DSM-IV made several revisions to the diagnostic criteria for delirium. This paper reviews the empirical data that supported these revisions. More research is needed to evaluate the usefulness of the new criteria and to further define subtypes of delirium.
