reliable delirium risk stratification will aid recognition, anticipation and prevention and will facilitate targeting of resources in clinical practice as well as identification of at-risk patients for research.

We therefore aimed to determine the reliability of externally derived risk scores in a consecutive cohort of older acute medicine patients.
