Objective The Delirium Motor Subtype Scale (DMSS) is a validated and reliable instrument developed from various methods previously used to assess deliriwn motor subtypes. It focuses on pure motor disturbances with a relative specificity for delirium. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of a Korean version of the DMSS (K-DMSS). Methods We recruited 145 patients who were older than 60 years and had been referred for psychiatric consultation for delirium. These patients were evaluated using the K-DMSS, Liptzin & Leykoff criteria, and the Korean version of the Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98 (K-DRS-R98) to compare delirium motor subtypes. Results The internal consistency of the K-DMSS in assessing delirium motor subtypes was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha-0.79). Delirium motor subtypes identified with the K-DMSS and K-DRS-R98 showed almost perfect agreement (Cohen's Kappa 0.81), while those identified with the K-DMSS and Liptzin & Levkoff criteria showed substantial agreement (Cohen's Kappa-0.78). Conclusion Our results suggest that the K-DMSS is a valid and reliable tool for identifying delirium subtypes.
