Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Delirium is a common phenomenon  occuring in 20-70% of hospitalized patients.Majoring of patients undergoing surgery and recurrent admissions due to chronic illness, polypharmacy and financial constraints cause lot distress to patients and family as well and are more for delirium  which in turn cause more morbidities and mortality .Hence Prevention and early detection are crucial.All previous studies have reported the incidence and various methods for management of delirium ,there is a paucity of literature comparing these two potentially effective techniques for Delirium prevention. Hence we are planning to conduct this RCT in out tertiary care centre to compare the effectiveness of Nonpharmacological techniques versus pharmacological interventions for prevention of delirium among critically ill patients. This study will lead pathway for major studies on Delirium background
