Description
Code list aiming to identify individuals consulting complaining of delirium.
Methodology
Identified from intial search terms outside of OpenCodelists: "delirium" "deliri" "disorienta" "confus"
Clearly irrelevant codes excluded (not reviewed by a second clinician)
Candidate codelist uploaded to OpenCodelists for review of candidate codes.
Excluded delirium caused by specific causes (e.g., drugs, alcohol). Excluded confusion and disorientation, as difficult to establish whether these would be reversible (needed for definition of delirium).

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
