Brief summary
ICU delirium are assessed by clinical nurses twice every day. Delirious patients are matched with patients according to their disease, gender and age range(±3 years). Stool samples for gene sequencing are collected. Gut barrier function are studied with several serum biomarkers (endotoxin, etc.). Ecological analyses, regression models and mediation equation will be performed.
Detailed description
ICU delirium are assessed by clinical nurses twice every day using Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU). Delirious patients are matched with patients according to their disease, gender and age range(±3 years). Stool samples for gene sequencing are collected within 24 hours after surgeries. Gut barrier function are studied with several serum biomarkers (endotoxin, etc.). Ecological analyses, regression models and mediation equation will be performed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gut microbiome | within 24 hours of delirium | Rectal swabs or stool samples for bacterical DNA extraction and 16S rRNA gene sequencing will be collected. Diversity and composition of gut microbiome will be compared between delirious and non-delirious patients. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gut barrier biomarkers | within 24 hours of matched samples | Blood sample will be collected to analyze the level of three gut barrier biomarkers (endotoxin, D-lactate and diamine oxidase). |
