"The UB-2 can effectively rule out delirium in less than 40 seconds, with a 93% sensitivity in persons with and without dementia. xref , xref If the person correctly answers both items in the UB-2, the protocol is complete; if not, the 3D-CAM is administered as step two. xref , xref The 3D-CAM is a validated diagnostic interview for delirium that can be completed in three minutes. xref We refer to this two-step process as the UB-CAM. (See xref , xref , xref )"

"A more purposeful approach is to educate patients and families about the brain as a critical organ, and the UB-CAM as a vital sign of brain function. xref , xref This finding corroborates other research that identifies the need for both intellectual and interpersonal skills to attend to the patient’s emotional needs while providing evidence-based care. xref "

"To administer the UB-CAM, first, the Ultra-Brief 2 (UB-2) two-item screen is applied, which uses the combination of “months of the year backwards” and “what is the day of the week?” to screen for delirium with a sensitivity of 93% (95% CI: 81%-99%) and specificity of 64% (95% CI: 56%-70%) ( xref )."

"This suggests that delirium screening can be performed efficiently by nurses and CNAs operating within their scope of practice, using for example the nurse two-step protocol with skip (UB-CAM), or the CNA UB-2 followed by nurse 3D-CAM with skip (not explicitly tested in our study)."

"Mean administration times were 3 minutes 13 seconds for 3D-CAM, 2 minutes 19 seconds for 3D-CAM with skip, 1 minute 52 seconds for UB-2 + 3D-CAM in positives, and 1 minute 14 seconds for UB-2 + 3D-CAM with skip in positives, which was 1 minute and 59 seconds faster than the 3D-CAM (p<."

"Previous work tested a RedCAP-based UB-CAM app in 527 patients with 399 physicians, nurses, and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) showing it can be successfully completed by all three disciplines in 97% of eligible patients in 80 seconds on average with over 85% accuracy relative to a gold standard."

"To address the challenge of delirium identification, our team developed, validated, and field tested the Ultra-brief Confusion Assessment Method (UB-CAM), a two-step delirium identification protocol that includes an ultra-brief 2-item screen (UB-2) paired with a validated diagnostic tool (3D-CAM)."

"If hospitalized older adults answer both UB-2 questions correctly (day of week and months of the year backwards), the protocol ends and delirium is not present; otherwise, additional questions from the 3D-CAM are administered to determine the presence or absence of the 4 CAM diagnostic features. xref To promote ease of bedside use and integration into clinician workflow, xref we previously developed, tested, and implemented a UB-CAM app using the Application Programming Interface (API) with the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap). xref "

"In conclusion, this study presents estimates of per assessment and annual hospital salary-based costs of implementing the UB-CAM 2-step delirium identification protocol, by physicians, nurses, and CNAs, thereby advancing the implementation and sustainability science of delirium screening."
sparser
"Significant factors associated with disagreement between clinician UB-CAM assessments and RRSDAs (OR [95% CI]) included: presence of dementia (2.7 [1.8-4.1]), patient education high school or less (1.9 [1.3-2.9]), psychomotor retardation (2.5 [1.4-4.2]), and the presence of mild delirium or subsyndromal delirium (5.5 [3.5-8.7])."

"Mapping the chemical shift perturbations from HSQC experiments with 15 N-Ub bound to the CALM ANTH domain ( xref and xref ) onto the ANTH:Ub crystal structure showed that the residues undergoing the largest changes were located at the interface captured in the crystal structure ( xref )."

"The CALM-ANTH:Ub interface showed hydrophobic interactions between Ub (L8, I44, V70) and CALM ANTH (F223, L274); and electrostatic interactions between Ub (R42, K48) and CALM (D224, D276) -To confirm this structure, we performed a series of Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancement (PRE) experiments ( xref ) that are summarized in xref ."

"This study describes the barriers and facilitators related to the implementation of the Ultra-brief Confusion Assessment Method (UB-CAM), a rapid two-step delirium identification protocol (ultra-brief screen, followed by CAM in positives), field tested with hospitalized older adults (70+)."
