Abstract
This study presents a medication-associated altered mental status (AMS) risk model for real-time implementation in inpatient electronic health record (EHR) systems. We utilized a retrospective cohort of patients admitted to 2 large hospitals between January 2012 and October 2013. The study population included admitted patients aged ≥18 years with exposure to an AMS risk-inducing medication within the first 5 hospitalization days. AMS events were identified by a measurable mental status change documented in the EHR in conjunction with the administration of an atypical antipsychotic or haloperidol. AMS risk factors and AMS risk-inducing medications were identified from the literature, drug information databases, and expert opinion. We used multivariate logistic regression with a full and backward eliminated set of risk factors to predict AMS. The final model was validated with 100 bootstrap samples. During 194,156 at-risk days for 66,875 admissions, 262 medication-associated AMS events occurred (an event rate of 0.13%). The strongest predictors included a history of AMS (odds ratio [OR], 9.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.64-16.17), alcohol withdrawal (OR, 3.34; 95% CI, 2.18-5.13), history of delirium or psychosis (OR, 3.25; 9...Continue Reading
