Model obtained with generalized estimating equations to assess for multiple measurements

CAM-ICU Confusion Assessment Method in the Intensive Care Unit, ICDSC Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist, RASS Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale

*Assessments included in the model: n = 481 (n = 163 missing as rated “non-assessable” by either CAM-ICU or evaluation by clinical team), goodness of fit (corrected quasi-likelihood under the independence model criterion): 206.2
