For his article titled: Effect of Haloperidol on Survival among Critically ill Adults with a High Risk of Delirium: The REDUCE Randomized Clinical Trial published in JAMA this year. This multicenter study, including 1,789 ICU patients, showed that prophylatic use of haloperidol in critically ill patients with a high risk of delirium is not effective on all 16 measured outcomes.
