Reduction of Neuro Check Intervals in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients is Associated with Lower Delirium Risk

Key Points

• Lower neuro check intervals significantly reduce the risk of delirium in patients with traumatic brain injury, enhancing patient safety.
• Delirium risk was reduced by 25% compared to standard intervals across multiple acute care settings, indicating a strong association.
• Assessment involved evaluating neuro check intervals and their impact on delirium risk using a retrospective cohort design in a hospital setting.
• These findings highlight the need for further external validation to confirm the effectiveness of shortened neuro check protocols.
