Prevention and management of postoperative delirium in adult patients: a best practice implementation project.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo describe the process of implementing evidence-based best practices to improve the prevention and management of Postoperative Delirium in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit.
methodReport on an evidence implementation project applying the JBI based on the audit and feedback process, with a structured approach to identifying and managing barriers in accordance with recommended clinical practices. Medical records, electronic nursing record systems, and staff interviews were used to assess compliance rates.
resultsIn the baseline audit, a zero compliance rate was found in most criteria in relation to the best evidence. Following this phase, interprofessional training was carried out, a validated tool was provided to identify patients at risk of delirium, and changes were made to the electronic nursing records system. In the first follow-up audit, there was an increase in the compliance rate in four of the nine criteria audited. Four criteria achieved 100% compliance in the second follow-up audit.
conclusionBest practices were implemented that contributed to improving the prevention and management of Postoperative Delirium. Subsequent to new training and re-auditing after one year, an increase in adherence to best practices was observed.
