Abbreviation: POD, participants who developed postoperative delirium; Non POD, participants who did not develop postoperative delirium.

Notes:

a.

Internal consistency was assessed by using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient.

b.

Split-halves reliability was determined by Pearson correlation coefficient of two parts of CAM-S, namely odd items and even items.

c.

Inter-rater reliability was assessed by using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC).

d.

Discriminate validity was evaluated by Student t-test, comparing the CAM-S scores between participants who developed postoperative delirium and those who did not develop delirium diagnosed by CAM.

e.

Criterion-related validity was assessed by spearman correlation coefficients between domain scores of CAM-S and concurrent cognitive domains.
