The aim of this study was to screen for SSD and DL in individuals with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU and to study the associated factors and clinical outcomes. Method: An observational, longitudinal study was conducted in the reference ICU for COVID-19. All admitted individuals with COVID-19 were screened for SSD and DL during their ICU stay using the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). Individuals with SSD and\/or DL were compared to those without SSD and\/or DL. Results: Ninety-three patients were evaluated, of which 46.7% had SSD and\/or DL. The incidence rate was 4.17 cases\/100 person-days. Individuals with SSD and\/or DL had higher severity of illness on admission to the ICU, as measured by the APACHE II score (median 16 versus 8 points, p &lt; 0.001). SSD and\/or DL were associated with longer ICU and hospital stays (median 19 versus 6 days, p &lt; 0.001 and median 22 versus 7 days, p &lt; 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Individuals with SSD and\/or DL had greater disease severity and longer ICU and hospital stays when compared to those without SSD and\/or DL. This reinforces the importance of screening for consciousness disorders in the ICU.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12113789","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,1]],"date-time":"2023-06-01T02:12:45Z","timestamp":1685585565000},"page":"3789","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Incidence Rate and Factors Associated with Delirium and Subsyndromal Delirium in Patients with COVID-19 in an Intensive Care Unit"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Lara Helena","family":"Perpetuo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Sa\u00fade, Faculdade de Medicina, Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Hospitalar Bom Jesus de Congonhas, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Congonhas 36415-000, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wellington","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o Del Rei, Divin\u00f3polis 35501-296, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8086-1200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Danilo Jorge","family":"da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Sa\u00fade, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Juiz de Fora 36036-900, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8743-9395","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mauro Eduardo","family":"Jurno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Medicina, Fhemig, Belo Horizonte 30622-020, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6145-9868","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thiago Cardoso","family":"Vale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Sa\u00fade, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Juiz de Fora 36036-900, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"683","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaneurol.2020.1127","article-title":"Neurologic Manifestations of Hospitalized Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Wuhan, China","volume":"77","author":"Mao","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA Neurol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2268","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMc2008597","article-title":"Neurologic Features in Severe SARS-CoV-2 Infection","volume":"382","author":"Helms","year":"2020","journal-title":"N.
