A senior clinical staff member on each participating ward reported on delirium prevalence at 8AM and 8PM, and on usual ward practice; this data was entered into an online survey by a data collector (typically a clinician from the site, visiting several wards to record data).

Almost 60% of wards used \u2018personal judgment\u2019 for delirium assessment. Having at least one delirium training session in the preceding year was associated with greater use of\u00a0a formal assessment tool (60.3% versus 18.8%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
