Delirium is a condition of sudden confusion and changes in awareness, affecting around 1 in 4 older patients in hospital at any given time, usually when someone is unwell for another reason. Delirium is very serious. It is linked to longer hospital stays, long-term memory problems, and an increased risk of death. However, it often goes unrecognised by healthcare professionals. At present, doctors and nurses assess delirium using bedside behavioural tests. These can be subjective and hard to interpret, particularly in patients who already have conditions such as dementia.
Electroencephalography (EEG) safely records the brain’s electrical activity through the scalp, and could help detect delirium. However, traditional EEG needs expensive equipment, along with specialists to record and then interpret the signals. In the NHS, EEG is poorly available and there are not enough specialists.

In April, new UK clinical trial regulations came into effect and we launched a prototype of our new Results Reporting System.

We asked for feedback, and are now approaching User Testing with researchers.

It's one year since we launched ISRCTN's streamlined submission form - just the WHO's 24-item data set plus two fields that patients rely on.

Since then, we've seen faster turnaround and fewer editorial queries needed.
