The AWOL score is a clinical delirium-risk model used at admission to identify patients at elevated risk of developing delirium during hospitalization. Higher scores support proactive prevention bundles and closer cognitive monitoring.
Formula: AWOL total is a point-based delirium-risk score; higher totals indicate higher risk.
AWOL-style risk models are used in hospital delirium prevention pathways with published predictive performance studies.
Higher AWOL totals indicate greater predicted delirium risk and support proactive prevention strategies.
Use at admission to identify patients who may benefit from intensified delirium prevention and monitoring.
Prediction performance can vary across institutions and populations; local validation improves utility.
