Resilience after severe critical illness: a prospective, multicentre, observational study (RESIREA). Crit Care 2024; 28:237. [PMID: 38997759 PMCID: PMC11245798 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04989-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Critical-illness survivors may experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and quality-of-life impairments. Resilience may protect against psychological trauma but has not been adequately studied after critical illness. We assessed resilience and its associations with PTSD and quality of life, and also identified factors associated with greater resilience. METHODS This prospective, multicentre, study in patients recruited at 41 French ICUs was done in parallel with the NUTRIREA-3 trial in patients given mechanical ventilation and vasoactive amines for shock. Three months to one year after intensive-care-unit admission, survivors completed the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25), Impact of Event-Revised scale for PTSD symptoms (IES-R), SF-36 quality-of-life scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ). RESULTS Of the 382 included patients, 203 (53.1%) had normal or high resilience (CD-RISC-25 ≥ 68). Of these resilient patients, 26 (12.8%) had moderate to severe PTSD symptoms (IES-R ≥ 24) vs. 45 (25.4%) patients with low resilience (p = 0.002). Resilient patients had higher SF-36 scores. Factors independently associated with higher CD-RISC-25 scores were higher MSPSS score indicating stronger social support (OR, 1.027; 95%CI 1.008-1.047; p = 0.005) and lower B-IPQ scores indicating a more threatening perception of the illness (OR, 0.973; 95%CI 0.950-0.996; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Resilient patients had a lower prevalence of PTSD symptoms and higher quality of life scores, compared to patients with low resilience. Higher scores for social support and illness perception were independently associated with greater resilience. Thus, our findings suggest that interventions to strengthen social support and improve illness perception may help to improve resilience. Such interventions should be evaluated in trials with PTSD mitigation and quality-of-life improvement as the target outcomes.

Consequences of a stay in the intensive care unit and outpatient follow-up care for chronic critically ill patients: A retrospective data analysis. Aust Crit Care 2024:S1036-7314(24)00098-5. [PMID: 38971649 DOI: 10.1016/j.aucc.2024.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic critical illness (CCI) represent a particularly vulnerable patient population with significant quality-of-life consequences and a need for follow-up care. Existing research on their quality-of-life trajectory and outpatient follow-up care is limited. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to (i) describe a quality improvement project focussing on patients with CCI in the Swiss setting; (ii) explain the consequences of an intensive care unit (ICU) stay for patients with CCI; and (iii) evaluate outpatient follow-up care for patients with CCI. METHODS This retrospective descriptive mixed-methods longitudinal study used routine data from outpatient follow-up care between October 2018 and June 2022. The pre-ICU data were collected retrospectively for the week before ICU admission (baseline); prospectively at 3, 6, and 12 months after ICU discharge; and during an outpatient follow-up care at 6 months. Its main outcomes were health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Patients with CCI were defined as those having a ICU stay longer than 7 days. RESULTS This study enrolled 227 patients with outpatient follow-up care, but only 77 were analysed at all four timepoints. Their EuroQol five-dimension five-level questionnaire-Visual Analogue Scale scores ranged from 0 to 100, with a median of 85 (interquartile range = 0-100) and a mean of 77.2 (standard deviation ± 23.52) before their ICU stay. Their scores had almost returned to the baseline 12 months after their ICU stay. While some reported existing restrictions in the individual HRQOL dimensions before their ICU stay, patients and their families appreciated the outpatient follow-up care including an ICU visit. CONCLUSION Patients with CCI have different HRQOL trajectories over time. Patients with CCI can have a good HRQOL despite their impairments; however, the HRQOL trajectories of many patients remain unclear. The focus must be on identifying the illness trajectories and on measuring and maintaining their long-term HRQOL.

Implementation of a routine post-shift debriefing program in ICU aiming at quality-of-care improvement: A primary analysis of feasibility and impacts. Intensive Crit Care Nurs 2024; 84:103752. [PMID: 38896963 DOI: 10.1016/j.iccn.2024.103752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This report describes the implementation of a clinical debriefing (CD) program in intensive care units (ICU) and analyses its feasibility and its impact on staff well-being. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING From April to September 2023, post-shift CDs were run once a week in 2 out of 7 units in our department, using an adapted version of the DISCOVER-PHASE tool. CD sessions were performed face-to-face with volunteer members of the multidisciplinary ICU team. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES After 6 months, a survey assessing the satisfaction of the debriefed teams was conducted. The impact of CD on staff well-being was assessed using three validated questionnaires (Maslach Burnout Inventory, Ways of Coping Checklist, Professional Quality of Life Scale) administered in the 7 units before and after the CD period. RESULTS A total of 44 CDs were performed, lasting 15 (4-35) min. There were 6 (1-9) attendees per CD, mainly nurses (64.6%). Discussions focused mainly on basic problems related to dysfunctional material, communication and organization inside the team. The two debriefed teams were satisfied of the program and gave 9, 8 and 8 out of 10 on a visual analogical scale for the climate of confidence of the DC, their organisation, and their ability to improve working conditions and quality of care, respectively. Subscores at the three questionnaires assessing staff well-being before and after the CD period were similar, whether teams experienced CD or not. CONCLUSIONS Implementing of post-shift debriefings in our ICU was feasible and well accepted. More prolonged programs are probably needed to demonstrate benefits on staff well-being. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE This report offers elements that other teams can use to successfully conduct post-shift debriefings and to plan future research on longer-term programs.

Development of a Simple Scoring System for Predicting Discharge Safety from the Medical ICU to Low-Acuity Wards: The Role of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score, Albumin, and Red Blood Cell Distribution Width. J Pers Med 2024; 14:643. [PMID: 38929864 PMCID: PMC11204447 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14060643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite advancements in artificial intelligence-based decision-making, transitioning patients from intensive care units (ICUs) to low-acuity wards is challenging, especially in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to develop a simple scoring system to predict ICU discharge safety. We retrospectively analyzed patients admitted to a tertiary hospital's medical ICU (MICU) between July 2016 and December 2021. This period was divided into two phases for model development and validation. We identified risk factors associated with unexpected death within 14 days of MICU discharge and developed a predictive scoring system that incorporated these factors. We verified the system's performance using validation data. In the development cohort, 522 patients were discharged from the MICU, and 42 (8.04%) died unexpectedly. In multivariate analysis, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (odds ratio [OR] 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13-1.41), red blood cell distribution width (RDW) (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.07-1.36), and albumin (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.16-0.84) were predictors of unexpected death. Each variable was assigned a weighted point in the scoring system, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.788 (95% CI 0.714-0.855). The scoring system was performed using an AUC of 0.738 (95% CI 0.653-0.822) in the validation cohort of 343 patients with 9.62% of unexpected deaths. When a cut-off of 0.032 was applied, a sensitivity and a specificity of 81.8% and 55.2%, respectively, were achieved. This simple bedside predictive score for ICU discharge uses the SOFA score, albumin level, and RDW to aid in timely decision-making and optimize critical care facility allocation in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Background Recently, increasing focus on patient input into research and healthcare improvements has fostered expanded patient-centered advocacy efforts. This first pan-fungal disease summit, part of the MYCology Advocacy, Research, & Education effort, brought together patients, caregivers, and mycology experts to better document patient experiences with invasive fungal disease (IFD) and establish priorities for mycology education, advocacy, and research. Methods Patients who had suffered from IFD, their caregivers, clinicians, industry representatives, government officials, and patient advocacy professionals were invited. Patients and caregivers shared their stories and struggles with IFD. Breakout sessions separated mycology experts from patients and caregivers for further discussions to identify commonalities and perceived gaps and to formulate recommendations. The 2 groups then reconvened to develop consensus recommendations. Results IFD patients and their caregivers shared experiences reflecting the typically lengthy prediagnosis, acute treatment, long-term treatment, and posttreatment recovery stages of IFD. They reported substantial physical, psychological, and financial burdens associated with the IFD experience, particularly related to delayed diagnoses. They reaffirmed a need for coordinated patient-centered education, peer support, and advocacy to document the burden of serious fungal infections. Mycology experts discussed strategies to address gaps in the mycology field, such as insufficient training, inadequate workforce support, and a need to partner more with patient groups. Conclusions A summit involving patients with IFD, family caregivers, and mycology experts identified a substantial nonclinical burden of disease associated with IFD. Patients and mycology experts prioritized several goals for education, advocacy, and research to raise awareness of IFD and improve outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare post-PICU discharge functioning, health-related quality of life (HRQL), and parental stress before and after the implementation of an early rehabilitation bundle. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective cohort substudy within an early rehabilitation implementation program, conducted at the PICUs at McMaster Children's Hospital and London Health Sciences, London, Ontario, Canada. INTERVENTIONS A bundle consisting of: 1) analgesia-first sedation; 2) delirium monitoring and prevention; and 3) early mobilization. Patients with an anticipated 48-hour PICU length of stay were approached for consent to participate. PATIENTS Critically ill children with an anticipated 48-hour PICU length of stay were approached for consent to participate. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patient-/proxy-reported outcome measures were assessed at baseline, PICU discharge, and 1 and 3 months post-PICU discharge using: 1) Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computer Adaptive Test to assess physical, social, cognitive, and responsibility/caregiver domains of functioning; 2) KIDSCREEN to assess HRQL; and 3) the Pediatric Inventory for Parents to assess caregiver stress. A total of 117 participants were enrolled. Patient demographic characteristics were similar in the pre- and post-intervention groups. Following bundle implementation, 30 of 47 respondents (63.8%) experienced functional decline and 18 of 45 (40%) experienced low HRQL at PICU discharge. Eighteen of 36 (50%) at 1 month and 14 of 38 (36.8%) at 3 months experienced either persistent functional decline and/or low HRQL; 2.8% and 2.6% at 1- and 3-month follow-up, respectively, experienced both persistent functional decline and low HRQL. There were no significant differences in the rates of persistent functional decline, low HRQL, or caregiver stress scores post-bundle compared with pre-rehabilitation bundle implementation. CONCLUSIONS We were unable to adequately determine the efficacy of a rehabilitation bundle on patient-centered outcomes as this substudy was not powered for these outcomes. Our results did reveal that persistent low functioning is common in PICU survivors, more common than low HRQL, while experiencing both functional decline and low HRQL was uncommon.

How Do I Go Forward?": Codesigning a Supportive Pathway after Critical Illness. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2024; 21:916-927. [PMID: 38330169 DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202307-599oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Long-term recovery after critical illness can be affected by post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), a significant burden, which can impact return to activities and work. There is a need for streamlined support for intensive care unit (ICU) patients in their recovery while enduring PICS symptoms. Objectives: To explore critical illness recovery from the experiences, perspectives, and beliefs of former ICU patients, their caregivers, and multidisciplinary clinicians to design a future rehabilitation intervention prototype to support ICU patients. Methods: This was an experience-based codesign (EBCD) study underpinned by the Behavior Change Wheel framework involving ICU patients (<5 years after illness), caregivers, and multidisciplinary clinicians with current clinical experience with ICU recovery at any point along the care continuum (ICU, acute, subacute, or community settings) from two metropolitan hospitals in Melbourne, Australia. Two rounds of experience-based codesign workshops were held between August 2021 and February 2022. Workshop content was analyzed via a reflective thematic approach to determine themes and develop an intervention. The intervention was mapped according to the template for intervention description and replication framework. Results: Forty people participated in the codesign process: 15 ICU patients, 2 caregivers, and 23 clinicians. Fifteen major themes were identified in the experience of ICU recovery. Returning home was a key time point for change, acceptance, and adjustment, with the burden of physical limitations and mental health problems becoming apparent. Most participants expressed that PICS was poorly understood in the community, and there was a lack of support to aid recovery. Based on these results, an intervention prototype was developed with a primary goal of improving care after hospital discharge. This was further refined in the second round of workshops. A resource toolkit was deemed most acceptable to end-users, including a hospital-directed support program involving psychology and physical therapy and an accompanying digital health package. Conclusions: A critical time point for more support in the recovery journey was the transition from hospital to home. To address this, a rehabilitation prototype including a physical and psychological support intervention and supporting digital health toolkit was codesigned. The intervention package will be developed and trialed with future ICU patients and their families. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05044221).

Abstract
Post intensive care syndrome (PICS) is a typical complication of critically ill patients during or after their stay in intensive care unit (ICU), characterized by a high incidence and impairment rate. It significantly impacts the quality of life of patients and their families, as well as consumes a substantial amount of medical resources. Therefore, early intervention and assessment of PICS is crucial. This paper aims to provide clinical professionals with a reference base by focusing on the clinical symptoms, diagnostic assessment, and preventative measures of PICS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postintensive care syndrome (PICS) is common in critically ill adults who were treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although comparative analyses between types of non-pharmacological measures and usual care to prevent PICS have been performed, it remains unclear which of these potential treatments is the most effective for prevention. METHODS To obtain the best evidence for non-pharmaceutical interventions in preventing PICS, a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analyses (NMAs) will be conducted by searching nine electronic databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Two reviewers will carefully screen the titles, abstracts, and full-text papers to identify and extract relevant data. Furthermore, the research team will meticulously check the bibliographic references of the selected studies and related reviews to discover any articles pertinent to this research. The primary focus of the study is to examine the prevalence and severity of PICS among critically ill patients admitted to the ICU. The additional outcomes encompass patient satisfaction and adverse effects related to the preventive intervention. The Cochrane Collaboration's risk-of-bias assessment tool will be utilized to evaluate the risk of bias in the included RCTs. To assess the efficacy of various preventative measures, traditional pairwise meta-analysis and Bayesian NMA will be used. To gauge the confidence in the evidence supporting the results, we will utilize the Confidence in NMA tool. DISCUSSION There are multiple non-pharmacological interventions available for preventing the occurrence and development of PICS. However, most approaches have only been directly compared to standard care, lacking comprehensive evidence and clinical balance. Although the most effective care methods are still unknown, our research will provide valuable evidence for further non-pharmacological interventions and clinical practices aimed at preventing PICS. The research is expected to offer useful data to help healthcare workers and those creating guidelines decide on the most effective path of action for preventing PICS in adult ICU patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically ill patients after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) discharge may present disability in their cognitive and physical functions. OBJECTIVES To investigate the quality of life (QoL) of both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients following ICU discharge, lung function, and physical performance of participants. METHODS This study was prospective and conducted between 2020 and 2021 in the "X" hospital. If patients were Mechanically-Ventilated (MV) > 48 h, they were included. RESULTS Fifty COVID-19 and seventy-two non-COVID-19 participants were included in this study. The mean (SD) of the total SF-36 scores at COVID-19 patients at hospital discharge and 3 and 12 months were 46.5 (14.5), 68.6 (17.8), and 82.3 (8.9) (p < 0.05), while non-COVID-19 participants were 48.5 (12.1), 72.2 (9.9), and 82.7 (5.4) (p < 0.05). The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) were assessed at 3 and 12 months and significantly improved over 12 months. CONCLUSION The QoL of COVID-19 patients improved significantly over time as FEV1 and 6MWD.

Abstract
Patients discharged from intensive care are at risk for post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), which consists of physical, psychological, and/or neurological impairments. This study aimed to analyze PICS at 24 months follow-up, to identify potential risk factors for PICS, and to assess health-related quality of life in a long-term cohort of adult cardiac arrest survivors. This prospective cohort study included adult cardiac arrest survivors admitted to the intensive care unit of a Swiss tertiary academic medical center. The primary endpoint was the prevalence of PICS at 24 months follow-up, defined as impairments in physical (measured through the European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions-3-Levels instrument [EQ-5D-3L]), neurological (defined as Cerebral Performance Category Score > 2 or Modified Rankin Score > 3), and psychological (based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised) domains. Among 107 cardiac arrest survivors that completed the 2-year follow-up, 46 patients (43.0%) had symptoms of PICS, with 41 patients (38.7%) experiencing symptoms in the physical domain, 16 patients (15.4%) in the psychological domain, and 3 patients (2.8%) in the neurological domain. Key predictors for PICS in multivariate analyses were female sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.17, 95% CI 1.08 to 9.3), duration of no-flow interval during cardiac arrest (minutes) (aOR 1.17, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.33), post-discharge job-loss (aOR 31.25, 95% CI 3.63 to 268.83), need for ongoing psychological support (aOR 3.64, 95% CI 1.29 to 10.29) or psychopharmacologic treatment (aOR 9.49, 95% CI 1.9 to 47.3), and EQ-visual analogue scale (points) (aOR 0.88, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.93). More than one-third of cardiac arrest survivors experience symptoms of PICS 2 years after resuscitation, with the highest impairment observed in the physical and psychological domains. However, long-term survivors of cardiac arrest report intact health-related quality of life when compared to the general population. Future research should focus on appropriate prevention, screening, and treatment strategies for PICS in cardiac arrest patients.

Inflammatory subphenotypes previously identified in ARDS are associated with mortality at intensive care unit discharge: a secondary analysis of a prospective observational study. Crit Care 2024; 28:151. [PMID: 38715131 PMCID: PMC11077885 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04929-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intensive care unit (ICU)-survivors have an increased risk of mortality after discharge compared to the general population. On ICU admission subphenotypes based on the plasma biomarker levels of interleukin-8, protein C and bicarbonate have been identified in patients admitted with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that are prognostic of outcome and predictive of treatment response. We hypothesized that if these inflammatory subphenotypes previously identified among ARDS patients are assigned at ICU discharge in a more general critically ill population, they are associated with short- and long-term outcome. METHODS A secondary analysis of a prospective observational cohort study conducted in two Dutch ICUs between 2011 and 2014 was performed. All patients discharged alive from the ICU were at ICU discharge adjudicated to the previously identified inflammatory subphenotypes applying a validated parsimonious model using variables measured median 10.6 h [IQR, 8.0-31.4] prior to ICU discharge. Subphenotype distribution at ICU discharge, clinical characteristics and outcomes were analyzed. As a sensitivity analysis, a latent class analysis (LCA) was executed for subphenotype identification based on plasma protein biomarkers at ICU discharge reflective of coagulation activation, endothelial cell activation and inflammation. Concordance between the subphenotyping strategies was studied. RESULTS Of the 8332 patients included in the original cohort, 1483 ICU-survivors had plasma biomarkers available and could be assigned to the inflammatory subphenotypes. At ICU discharge 6% (n = 86) was assigned to the hyperinflammatory and 94% (n = 1397) to the hypoinflammatory subphenotype. Patients assigned to the hyperinflammatory subphenotype were discharged with signs of more severe organ dysfunction (SOFA scores 7 [IQR 5-9] vs. 4 [IQR 2-6], p < 0.001). Mortality was higher in patients assigned to the hyperinflammatory subphenotype (30-day mortality 21% vs. 11%, p = 0.005; one-year mortality 48% vs. 28%, p < 0.001). LCA deemed 2 subphenotypes most suitable. ICU-survivors from class 1 had significantly higher mortality compared to class 2. Patients belonging to the hyperinflammatory subphenotype were mainly in class 1. CONCLUSIONS Patients assigned to the hyperinflammatory subphenotype at ICU discharge showed significantly stronger anomalies in coagulation activation, endothelial cell activation and inflammation pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of critical disease and increased mortality until one-year follow up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critical COVID-19 survivors are at risk of developing Post-intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) and Chronic ICU-Related Pain (CIRP). We determined whether a specific care program improves the quality of life (QoL) of patients at risk of developing PICS and CIRP after COVID-19. METHODS The PAIN-COVID trial was a parallel-group, single-centre, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. The intervention consisted of a follow up program, patient education on PICS and pain, and a psychological intervention based on Rehm's self-control model in patients with abnormal depression scores (≥8) in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at the baseline visit. QoL was evaluated with the 5-level EQ 5D (EQ 5D 5 L), mood disorders with the HADS, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with the PCL-5 checklist, and pain with the Brief Pain Inventory short form, the Douleur Neuropathique 4 questionnaire, and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. The primary outcome was to determine if the program was superior to standard-of-care on the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS) at 6 months after the baseline visit. The secondary outcomes were EQ VAS at 3 months, and EQ index, CIRP incidence and characteristics, and anxiety, depression, and PTSD at 3 and 6 months after baseline visits. CONCLUSIONS This program was not superior to standard care in improving QoL in critical COVID-19 survivors as measured by the EQ VAS. However, our data can help establish better strategies for the study and management of PICS and CIRP in this population. TRIAL REGISTRATION # NCT04394169, registered on 5/19/2020.

Abstract
Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is the term used to describe the decline in the physical, cognitive, and/or mental condition of individuals who have been discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU). This complication could result in a significant reduction in quality of life, with some patients experiencing symptoms of prolonged weakness, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Intensive care advancement over the years has resulted in an increase in ICU survival rates and a proportional increase in PICS, creating a need for more in-depth research into the prevention and management of the disease. Hence, this study aims to examine the present body of literature on PICS, encompassing its underlying physiological processes and elements that contribute to its development, methods for evaluating and diagnosing the condition, current treatment choices as well as potential new approaches, and the constraints in managing PICS and the necessity for further investigation. In this article, studies were compiled from several databases, including, but not limited to, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. These studies were reviewed, and their data were used to highlight important aspects regarding the efficacy of current PICS screening tools, the optimization and limitations of both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment methods, and the feasibility and safety of emerging treatments and technologies. The major conclusions of this review were centered around the need for multidisciplinary management of PICS. From pharmacological management using analgesia to non-pharmacological management using early mobilization and exercise therapy, the effective treatment of PICS requires a multifaceted approach. Patient follow-up and its importance were touched upon, including strategies and policies to bolster proper follow-up, thereby increasing favorable outcomes. Lastly, the importance of family involvement and the increased need for research into this topic were highlighted.

BMJ Open 2024; 14:e083553. [PMID: 38670603 PMCID: PMC11057271 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-083553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIP/CIM) are frequent complications in the intensive care unit (ICU) with major consequences for the progress and outcome of subjects. CIP/CIM delays the weaning process, prolongs the hospital stay and increases the mortality rate. Additionally, it may have long-term consequences beyond the hospitalisation phase with prolonged disability. Even though there is growing interest in CIP/CIM, research about the clinical and post-clinical course as well as the middle-term and long-term outcomes of subjects with CIP/CIM is scarce. A large prospective study of critically ill subjects is needed with accurate diagnosis during the acute stage and comprehensive assessment during long-term follow-up. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This prospective observational cohort study aims to compare the clinical and post-clinical course of chronically critically ill subjects with and without the diagnosis of CIP/CIM and to determine predictors for the middle-term and long-term outcomes of subjects with CIP/CIM. In addition, the influence of the preclinical health status and the preclinical frailty on the long-term outcome of subjects with CIP/CIM will be investigated.This single-centre study will include 250 critically ill patients who were invasively ventilated for at least 5 days at the ICU and show reduced motor strength. At five study visits at admission and discharge to neurological rehabilitation, and 12, 18 and 24 months after disease onset, a comprehensive test battery will be applied including assessments of functioning and impairment, independence, health-related quality of life, activity and participation, cognition, gait and balance, fatigue, mental health and frailty.Secondary objectives are the documentation of therapy goals, therapy content and achieved milestones during the rehabilitation, to evaluate the clinimetric properties of the Mini-BESTest in critically ill patients, and to evaluate the time course and outcome of subjects with CIP/CIM after SARS-CoV-2 infection. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study was approved by the ethical committee of the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich. Participants will be included in the study after having signed informed consent.Results will be published in scientific, peer-reviewed journals and at national and international conferences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are at higher risk for severe infection. However, the risk for severe COVID-19 and vaccine effectiveness among SOTRs remain unclear. METHODS This retrospective study used a nationwide health care claims database and COVID-19 registry from the Republic of Korea (2020 to 2022). Adult SOTRs diagnosed with COVID-19 were matched with up to 4 non-SOTR COVID-19 patients by propensity score. Severe COVID-19 was defined as treatment with high-flow nasal cannulae, mechanical ventilation, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. RESULTS Among 6783 SOTRs with COVID-19, severe COVID-19 was reported with the highest rate in lung transplant recipients (13.16%), followed by the heart (6.30%), kidney (3.90%), and liver (2.40%). SOTRs had a higher risk of severe COVID-19 compared to non-SOTRs, and lung transplant recipients showed the highest risk (adjusted odds ratio, 18.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 8.53-38.58). Vaccine effectiveness against severe disease among SOTRs was 47% (95% CI, 18%-65%), 64% (95% CI, 49%-75%), and 64% (95% CI, 29%-81%) for 2, 3, and 4 doses, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SOTRs are at significantly higher risk for severe COVID-19 compared to non-SOTRs. Vaccination is effective in preventing the progression to severe COVID-19. Efforts should be made to improve vaccine uptake among SOTRs, while additional protective measures should be developed.

Intensive Crit Care Nurs 2024; 81:103583. [PMID: 38042106 DOI: 10.1016/j.iccn.2023.103583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine how the perception of physical function 6-months following critical illness compares to objectively measured function, and to identify key concerns for patients during recovery from critical illness. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND DESIGN A nested convergent parallel mixed methods study assessed physical function during a home visit 6-months following critical illness, with semi-structured interviews conducted at the same time. SETTING Participants were recruited from two hospitals at one healthcare network in Melbourne, Australia from September 2017 to October 2018 with follow-up data completed in April 2019. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Physical function was assessed through four objective outcomes: the functional independence measure, six-minute walk test, functional reach test, and grip strength. Semi structured interviews focused on participants function, memories of the intensive care and hospital stay, assistance required on discharge, ongoing limitations, and the recovery process. FINDINGS Although many participants (12/20, 60%) stated they had recovered from their critical illness, 14 (70%) had function below expected population norms. Decreased function on returning home was commonly reported, although eleven participants were described as independent and safe for discharge from hospital-based staff. The importance of family and social networks to facilitate discharge was highlighted, however participants often described wanting more support and issues accessing services. The effect of critical illness on the financial well-being of the family network was confirmed, with difficulties accessing financial support identified. CONCLUSION Survivors of critical illness perceived a better functional state than measured, but many report new limitations 6-months after critical illness. Family and friends play a crucial role in facilitating transition home and providing financial support. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Implementation of specific discharge liaison personnel to provide education, support and assist the transition from hospital-based care to home, particularly in those without stable social supports, may improve the recovery process for survivors of critical illness.

Abstract
Objective This study investigates temporal muscle atrophy in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients post-resuscitation, seeking associations with neurological outcomes and factors associated with atrophy. Methods Using data from six Japanese intensive care units, adult patients' post-resuscitation who underwent head computed tomography scans on admission and two to five days post-admission were assessed. Temporal muscle area, thickness, and density were quantified from a single cross-sectional image. Patients were categorized into 'atrophy' or 'no atrophy' groups based on median daily temporal muscle atrophy rates. The primary outcome was changes in temporal muscle dimensions between admission and follow-up two to five days later. Secondary outcomes included assessing the impact of temporal muscle atrophy on 30-day survival, as well as identifying any clinical factors associated with temporal muscle atrophy. Results A total of 185 patients were analyzed. Measurements at follow-up revealed significant decreases in temporal muscle area (214 vs. 191 mm2, p < 0.001), thickness (4.9 vs. 4.7 mm, p < 0.001), and density (46 vs. 44 HU, p < 0.001) compared to those at admission. The median daily rate for temporal muscle area atrophy was 2.0% per day. There was no significant association between temporal muscle atrophy and 30-day survival (hazard ratios, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.41-1.23, p = 0.231). Multivariable logistic regression found no clinical factors significantly associated with temporal muscle atrophy. Conclusions Temporal muscle atrophy in post-resuscitation patients occurs rapidly at 2.0% per day. However, there was no significant association with 30-day mortality or any identified clinical factors. Further investigation into its long-term functional implications is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the increasing number of critical care survivors, population-based studies on the long-term outcomes after discharge are necessary to inform local decision-making. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate mortality and its risk factors, readmissions, and medical expenses of intensive care unit survivors for 3 years after hospital discharge. METHODS This retrospective study analysed data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort in Korea. Of the 195,702 patients who survived and were discharged from hospital in 2012, 2693 intensive care unit patients were assigned to the case group for the study, and the remaining 193,009 were assigned to the comparison group. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality for 3 years after discharge. Secondary outcomes were all-cause hospital readmission and medical expenses in 3 years. We analysed risk factors for mortality using the Cox proportional hazard regression. The differences in hospital readmission and medical expenses between the case and comparison groups were analysed by multivariate logistic regression and independent t-tests. RESULTS The 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year cumulative mortality rates in the case group were 15.9%, 20.5%, and 24.4%, respectively, and older age, disability, medical admission, and longer hospital stay increased mortality. Almost 40% of intensive care unit survivors were readmitted to hospital within 6 months of discharge, and their odds of being readmitted were significantly higher than those of the comparison group. Medical expenses were also significantly higher in the case group, with the highest paid within 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Mortality, hospital readmission, and medical expenses for intensive care unit survivors were the worst within 6 months of discharge. In light of the long-term recovery trajectory of critical illness, it is necessary to investigate what factors may have contributed to the negative outcome during this period. Further research is needed to determine which services primarily contributed to the increase in medical expenses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES ICU survivors often suffer from long-lasting physical, mental, and cognitive health problems after hospital discharge. As several interventions that treat or prevent these problems already start during ICU stay, patients at high risk should be identified early. This study aimed to develop a model for early prediction of post-ICU health problems within 48 hours after ICU admission. DESIGN Prospective cohort study in seven Dutch ICUs. SETTING/PATIENTS ICU patients older than 16 years and admitted for greater than or equal to 12 hours between July 2016 and March 2020. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Outcomes were physical problems (fatigue or ≥ 3 new physical symptoms), mental problems (anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder), and cognitive impairment. Patient record data and questionnaire data were collected at ICU admission, and after 3 and 12 months, of 2,476 patients. Several models predicting physical, mental, or cognitive problems and a composite score at 3 and 12 months were developed using variables collected within 48 hours after ICU admission. Based on performance and clinical feasibility, a model, PROSPECT, predicting post-ICU health problems at 3 months was chosen, including the predictors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, admission type, expected length of ICU stay greater than or equal to 2 days, and preadmission anxiety and fatigue. Internal validation using bootstrapping on data of the largest hospital ( n = 1,244) yielded a C -statistic of 0.73 (95% CI, 0.70-0.76). External validation was performed on data ( n = 864) from the other six hospitals with a C -statistic of 0.77 (95% CI, 0.73-0.80). CONCLUSIONS The developed and externally validated PROSPECT model can be used within 48 hours after ICU admission for identifying patients with an increased risk of post-ICU problems 3 months after ICU admission. Timely preventive interventions starting during ICU admission and follow-up care can prevent or mitigate post-ICU problems in these high-risk patients.

Dias LM, da Cruz JA, Lopes AJ. Long-term assessment of functional capacity, muscle function, lung function, and quality of life in survivors of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Heliyon 2024; 10:e23431. [PMID: 38169824 PMCID: PMC10758824 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and objective The many patients who develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) have generated numerous VAP survivors who are not followed up in the long term. This study aimed, primarily, to evaluate the long-term functional capacity, as measured using the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre), of VAP survivors and, secondarily, to calculate the correlations of TGlittre with muscle and lung function. Methods This cross-sectional study evaluated 30 VAP survivors 10 months after discharge from the intensive care unit. The participants underwent the following assessments: TGlittre; respiratory muscle strength; handgrip strength (HGS); spirometry; Functional Assessment of Chronic Therapy (FACIT-F); and Short Form-36 (SF-36). Results The median TGlittre time was 95 (81-130)% of predicted, and 30 % of the participants performed poorly on TGlittre. One-third of the participants had abnormal spirometry results. TGlittre time was correlated with weight (rs = -0.412, P = 0.023), body index mass (BMI, rs = -0.400, P = 0.029), forced vital capacity (FVC, rs = -0.401, P = 0.030), HGS (rs = -0.571, P = 0.0009), FACIT-F score (rs = -0.405, P = 0.026), and different SF-36 domain scores. Participants who returned to work had a shorter TGlittre time than those who did not (89 (69-104) vs. 129 (102-183)% predicted). Multiple linear regression indicated that FVC and BMI explained 39 % of TGlittre variability. Conclusion VAP survivors had suboptimal functional capacity, low lung function, and general fatigue 10 months after discharge. The longer the TGlittre time was, the worse the lung function, muscle function, general fatigue, and quality of life were and the less likely the patient was to have returned to work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is the long-lasting impairment of physical functions, cognitive functions, and mental health after intensive care. Although a long-term follow-up is essential for the successful management of PICS, few reviews have summarized evidence for the efficacy and management of the PICS follow-up system. MAIN TEXT The PICS follow-up system includes a PICS follow-up clinic, home visitations, telephone or mail follow-ups, and telemedicine. The first PICS follow-up clinic was established in the U.K. in 1993 and its use spread thereafter. There are currently no consistent findings on the efficacy of PICS follow-up clinics. Under recent evidence and recommendations, attendance at a PICS follow-up clinic needs to start within three months after hospital discharge. A multidisciplinary team approach is important for the treatment of PICS from various aspects of impairments, including the nutritional status. We classified face-to-face and telephone-based assessments for a PICS follow-up from recent recommendations. Recent findings on medications, rehabilitation, and nutrition for the treatment of PICS were summarized. CONCLUSIONS This narrative review aimed to summarize the PICS follow-up system after hospital discharge and provide a comprehensive approach for the prevention and treatment of PICS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This concept analysis aimed to clarify the meaning of the concept of cognitive impairment in critically ill patients throughout the trajectory of their rehabilitation during and after an intensive care unit admission. REVIEW METHODS USED This study used concept analysis based on Rodgers' evolutionary method. DATA SOURCES A systematic search was conducted in Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Public MEDLINE, and American Psychological Associations PsycINFO. The web was searched for grey literature. REVIEW METHODS Overall search terms used were "patients with cognitive impairments" AND "intensive care unit". Literature published between 2008 and 2022 was included and screened by title and abstract using systematic review software. The descriptive analysis focussed on surrogate terms/related concepts, attributes, and contextual basis. RESULTS Thirty studies were included, representing variability in study design and country of origin. The analysis uncovered descriptions of the general terminology and the temporal trajectory of the concept, spanning from the acute phase to a long-term perspective. Attributes of the concept were described as delirium and domains of cognition. Antecedents were juxtaposed to risk factors, which were multifactorial. Consequences of cognitive impairment related to patients' quality of life, such as a decline in their ability to function independently, return to work, and manage everyday life. Also, cognitive impairment was identified as a significant public health problem. CONCLUSION Cognitive impairment is a complex concept with many surrogate and related terms. Furthermore, the concept is inextricably intertwined with the concepts of delirium and post-intensive care syndrome. Cognitive impairment may manifest as symptoms that can be challenging to identify and assess due to limitations in current screening tools and the absence of a consensus on timing. In relation to assessment and preventive strategies, the findings underline the need to distinguish between acute and long-term cognitive impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The negative experiences of intensive care unit (ICU) patients seriously affect their quality of life and survival outcomes. Thus, it is of great significance to evaluate the monitoring experience of ICU patients for the clinical improvement of their experiences and promote interventions. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate patients' experiences of ICU and to understand the sources of patient experience and influencing factors. METHODS From November 2021 to September 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 600 inpatients from four grade A-III hospitals in western China. Data were collected using the Chinese version of the Intensive Care Experience Questionnaire. RESULTS 585 valid questionnaires were collected, the response rate was 97.5%. ICU patients in western China scored below-the-average for their intensive care experience. Family monthly income, occupation types, medical payment method, type of ICU, ICU admission plan, ICU admission times, mechanical ventilation use, fertility status, analgesia, sedation, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores are important factors influencing ICU patients' intensive care experience. CONCLUSIONS Medical staff need to pay attention to patient experience, improve the awareness of patient stressors and influencing factors, design nursing programs conducive to patient-positive experience, and promote interventions to further improve the long-term prognosis of patients. The results of this study can also be used as a set of nursing-sensitive indicators for evaluating nursing structure, process, and outcomes.

Abstract
Patients with critical illnesses are at higher risk of comorbidities, which can include bone mineral density loss, bone turnover marker increase, and fragility fractures. Patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have a higher risk of bone fractures. Since hypermetabolism is a characteristic of ICU patients, such patients are often rapidly affected by systemic deterioration, which often results in systemic wasting disease. Major risk factors for ICU-related bone loss include physical restraint, inflammation, neuroendocrine stress, malnutrition, and medications. A medical history of critical illness should be acknowledged as a risk factor for impaired bone metabolism. Bone loss associated with ICU admission should be recognized as a key component of post-intensive care syndrome, and further research that focuses on treatment protocols and prevention strategies is required. Studies aimed at maintaining gut integrity have emphasized protein administration and nutrition, while research is ongoing to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of anti-resorptive agents and physical therapy. This review examines both current and innovative clinical strategies that are used for identifying risk factors of bone loss. It provides an overview of perioperative outcomes and discusses the emerging novel treatment modalities. Furthermore, the review presents future directions in the treatment of ICU-related bone loss.

Abstract
As the treatment options, modalities and technology have grown, mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) has been on the decline. More and more patients are being discharged to wards and in the care of their loved ones after prolonged treatment at times and sometimes in isolation. These survivors have a lower life expectancy and a poorer quality of life. They can have substantial familial financial implications and an economic impact on the healthcare system in terms of increased and continued utilisation of services, the so-called post intensive care syndrome (PICS). But it is not only the patient who is the sufferer. The mental health of the loved ones and family members may also be affected, which is termed as PICS-family. In this review, we shall be reviewing the definition, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and evaluation, treatment and follow up of PICS. We shall also focus on measures to prevent, rehabilitate and understand the ICU stay from patients’ perspective on how to redesign the ICU, post ICU care needs for a better patient outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Deciphering the effect of acute kidney injury (AKI) during critical illness on long-term quality of life versus the impact of conditions that brought on critical illness is difficult. RECENT FINDINGS Reports on patient-centred outcomes such as health-related quality of life (HRQOL) have provided insight into the long-lasting impact of critical illness complicated by AKI. However, these data stem from observational studies and randomized controlled trials, which have been heterogeneous in their patient population, timing, instruments used for assessment and reporting. Recent studies have corroborated these findings including lack of effect of renal replacement therapy compared to severe AKI on outcomes and worse physical compared to cognitive dysfunction. SUMMARY In adults, more deficits in physical than mental health domains are found in survivors of AKI in critical care, whereas memory deficits and learning impairments have been noted in children. Further study is needed to understand and develop interventions that preserve or enhance the quality of life for individual patients who survive AKI following critical illness, across all ages.

Abstract
Background: Survivors of critical illness experience high rates of serious health-related suffering. The delivery of palliative care may assist in decreasing this burden for survivors and their families. Objectives: To understand beliefs, attitudes, and experiences of post-intensive care unit (ICU) program clinicians regarding palliative care and explore barriers and facilitators to incorporating palliative care into critical illness survivorship care. Design: Qualitative inquiry using semistructured interviews and framework analysis. Results were mapped using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Setting/Subjects: We interviewed 29 international members (United States, United Kingdom, Canada) of the Critical and Acute Illness Recovery Organization post-ICU clinic collaborative. Results: All interprofessional clinicians described components of palliative care as essential to post-ICU clinic practice, including symptom management, patient/family support, facilitation of goal-concordant care, expectation management and anticipatory guidance, spiritual support, and discussion of future health care wishes and advance care planning. Facilitators promoting palliative care strategies were clinician level, including first-hand experience, perceived value, and a positive attitude regarding palliative care. Clinician-level barriers were reciprocals and included insufficient palliative care knowledge, lack of self-efficacy, and a perceived need to protect ICU survivors from interventions the clinician felt may adversely affect recovery or change the care trajectory. System-level barriers included time constraints, cost, and lack of specialty palliative care services. Conclusion: Palliative care may be an essential element of post-ICU clinic care. Implementation efforts focused on tailoring strategies to improve post-ICU program clinicians' palliative care knowledge and self-efficacy could be a key to enhanced care delivery for survivors of critical illness.

Abstract
The improvement of intensive care treatment options leads to an increasing number of patients being treated in this setting. For the majority of those affected and their relatives, this treatment is associated with tremendous stress, but also subsequent physical, psychological and cognitive impairments, the post-intensive care syndrome. The aim of psychosocial support in the intensive care unit is to stabilise and minimise the acute stress. This is done through care services oriented towards trauma therapy interventions and emergency psychology. Equally central are the needs of the patient's relatives and ways to stabilise and relieve them. The third pillar of psychosocial work in the intensive care unit is the support of the treatment team. Finally, an outlook is given for the specialised aftercare of these complex patients in PICS outpatient clinics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Thiamine (Vitamin B1) is an essential micronutrient and a co-factor for metabolic functions related to energy metabolism. We determined the association between whole blood thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) concentrations and plasma metabolites using high resolution metabolomics in critically ill patients. Methods Cross-sectional study performed in Erciyes University Hospital, Kayseri, Turkey and Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA. Participants were ≥ 18 years of age, with an expected length of ICU stay longer than 48 hours, receiving furosemide therapy for at least 6 months before ICU admission. Results Blood for TPP and metabolomics was obtained on the day of ICU admission. Whole blood TPP concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry was used for plasma high-resolution metabolomics. Data was analyzed using regression analysis of TPP levels against all plasma metabolomic features in metabolome-wide association studies. We also compared metabolomic features from patients in the highest TPP concentration tertile to patients in the lowest TPP tertile as a secondary analysis. We enrolled 76 participants with a median age of 69 (range, 62.5-79.5) years. Specific metabolic pathways associated with whole blood TPP levels, using both regression and tertile analysis, included pentose phosphate, fructose and mannose, branched chain amino acid, arginine and proline, linoleate, and butanoate pathways. Conclusions Plasma high-resolution metabolomics analysis showed that whole blood TPP concentrations are significantly associated with metabolites and metabolic pathways linked to the metabolism of energy, amino acids, lipids, and the gut microbiome in adult critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe weakness associated with critical illness (CIW) is common. This narrative review summarizes the latest scientific insights and proposes a guide for clinicians to optimize the diagnosis and management of the CIW during the various stages of the disease from the ICU to the community stage. MAIN BODY CIW arises as diffuse, symmetrical weakness after ICU admission, which is an important differentiating factor from other diseases causing non-symmetrical muscle weakness or paralysis. In patients with adequate cognitive function, CIW can be easily diagnosed at the bedside using manual muscle testing, which should be routinely conducted until ICU discharge. In patients with delirium or coma or those with prolonged, severe weakness, specific neurophysiological investigations and, in selected cases, muscle biopsy are recommended. With these exams, CIW can be differentiated into critical illness polyneuropathy or myopathy, which often coexist. On the general ward, CIW is seen in patients with prolonged previous ICU treatment, or in those developing a new sepsis. Respiratory muscle weakness can cause neuromuscular respiratory failure, which needs prompt recognition and rapid treatment to avoid life-threatening situations. Active rehabilitation should be reassessed and tailored to the new patient's condition to reduce the risk of disease progression. CIW is associated with long-term physical, cognitive and mental impairments, which emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary model of care. Follow-up clinics for patients surviving critical illness may serve this purpose by providing direct clinical support to patients, managing referrals to other specialists and general practitioners, and serving as a platform for research to describe the natural history of post-intensive care syndrome and to identify new therapeutic interventions. This surveillance should include an assessment of the activities of daily living, mood, and functional mobility. Finally, nutritional status should be longitudinally assessed in all ICU survivors and incorporated into a patient-centered nutritional approach guided by a dietician. CONCLUSIONS Early ICU mobilization combined with the best evidence-based ICU practices can effectively reduce short-term weakness. Multi-professional collaborations are needed to guarantee a multi-dimensional evaluation and unitary community care programs for survivors of critical illnesses.

Instruments to assess post-intensive care syndrome assessment: a scoping review and modified Delphi method study. Crit Care 2023; 27:430. [PMID: 37936249 PMCID: PMC10629074 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04681-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The assessment of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is challenging due to the numerous types of instruments. We herein attempted to identify and propose recommendations for instruments to assess PICS in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors. METHODS We conducted a scoping review to identify PICS follow-up studies at and after hospital discharge between 2014 and 2022. Assessment instruments used more than two times were included in the modified Delphi consensus process. A modified Delphi meeting was conducted three times by the PICS committee of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine, and each score was rated as not important (score: 1-3), important, but not critical (4-6), and critical (7-9). We included instruments with ≥ 70% of respondents rating critical and ≤ 15% of respondents rating not important. RESULTS In total, 6972 records were identified in this scoping review, and 754 studies were included in the analysis. After data extraction, 107 PICS assessment instruments were identified. The modified Delphi meeting reached 20 PICS assessment instrument recommendations: (1) in the physical domain: the 6-min walk test, MRC score, and grip strength, (2) in cognition: MoCA, MMSE, and SMQ, (3) in mental health: HADS, IES-R, and PHQ-9, (4) in the activities of daily living: the Barthel Index, IADL, and FIM, (5) in quality of life: SF-36, SF-12, EQ-5D-5L, 3L, and VAS (6), in sleep and pain: PSQI and Brief Pain Inventory, respectively, and (7) in the PICS-family domain: SF-36, HADS, and IES-R. CONCLUSION Based on a scoping review and the modified Delphi method, 20 PICS assessment instruments are recommended to assess physical, cognitive, mental health, activities of daily living, quality of life, sleep, and pain in ICU survivors and their families.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Improved survival from critical illness has enhanced the focus on ways to augment functional outcomes following discharge from the Intensive Care Unit. An area that is gaining increased attention is the effect of critical illness on bone health and fragility fractures following the episode. This review discusses the micronutrients that may play a role in bone metabolism and the potential benefits of their supplementation to prevent osteoporosis. These include calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin K, and certain trace elements. FINDINGS Although there is sound physiological basis for the involvement of these micronutrients in bone health and fracture prevention, there are few clinically relevant publications in this area with calcium and vitamin D being the best studied to date. SUMMARY In the absence of high-quality evidence in critically ill populations, attention to measurement and supplementation of these micronutrients as per current guidelines outlining micronutrient requirements in enteral and parenteral nutrition might mitigate bone loss and its sequelae in the recovery phase from critical illness.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the current review, we highlight developing strategies taken by healthcare systems to improve posthospital outcomes for sepsis and critical illness. RECENT FINDINGS Multiple studies conducted in the adult population over the last 18 months have advanced current knowledge on postdischarge care after sepsis and critical illness. Effective interventions are complex and multicomponent, targeting the multilevel challenges that survivors face. Health systems can leverage existing care models such as primary care or invest in specialty programs to deliver postdischarge care. Qualitative and implementation science studies provide insights into important contextual factors for program success. Several studies demonstrate successful application of telehealth to improve reach of postdischarge support. Research is beginning to identify subtypes of survivors that may respond to tailored intervention strategies. SUMMARY Several successful critical illness survivor models of care have been implemented and knowledge about effectiveness, cost, and implementation factors of these strategies is growing. Further innovation is needed in intervention development and evaluation to advance the field.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1271540. [PMID: 37841002 PMCID: PMC10569171 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1271540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) can be considered in critically ill patient in severe pulmonary failure. However, the mobilization of patients on V-V ECMO can be challenging due to logistic and safety concerns. This study aimed to investigate whether 30 days survival was improved in patients who were mobilized during V-V ECMO support. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort all-comer study that included all patients cannulated for V-V ECMO at a single center. Patients with a V-V ECMO duration below 24 h were excluded from the analysis. The patients were grouped based on the ICU mobility scale documented during V-V ECMO support. The primary endpoint was 30 days survival, and secondary endpoints included weaning from ECMO and mechanical ventilation, as well as hospital survival. Results A total of 343 patients were included in the study, with a median age of 56 years and 32% were female. Among them, 28% had chronic lung disease. The ICU mobilization scale ≥2 during ECMO was documented in 62/343 (18%) patients. There were no significant differences in age, gender and preexisting lung disease. Duration of ICU stay (13.1 vs. 15.6 days), time on ECMO (186 vs. 190 h) and mechanical ventilation (11.2 vs. 13.6 days) were slightly shorter in patients with ICU mobility scale <2 compared to those with ≥2 (all p = 0.0001). However, patients with ICU mobilization scale ≥2 showed significantly better 30 days survival (71.0 vs. 48.0%, OR 2.6 (1.5 to 4.8), p = 0.0012) compared to those with <2. In the ≥2 mobility scale group, a significantly higher number of patients were successfully weaned from the ventilator (61.3 vs. 46.6%, OR 1.8 (1.0 to 3.2), p = 0.049). A stronger correlation was observed between more intense mobilizations, such as being in a standing position (OR 5.0 (1.7 to 14.0), p = 0.0038), and higher 30 days survival. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that active mobilization during V-V ECMO support is associated with improved 30 days survival and successful weaning from the respirator. Incorporating mobilization as part of the therapeutic approach during ECMO support may offer potential benefits for critically ill patients.

Abstract
To compare mental, cognitive and physical outcomes between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients, 3-6 months after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic and to compare mental outcomes between relatives of these patients. This retrospective cohort study included 209 ICU survivors (141 COVID-19 patients and 68 non-COVID-19 patients) and 168 of their relatives (maximum one per patient) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary outcomes were self-reported occurrence of mental, cognitive and/or physical symptoms 3-6 months after ICU discharge. The occurrence of mental symptoms did not differ between former COVID-19 patients (34.7% [43/124]) and non-COVID-19 patients (43.5% [27/62]) (p = 0.309), neither between relatives of COVID-19 patients (37.6% [38/101]) and relatives of non-COVID-19 patients (39.6% [21/53]) (p = 0.946). Depression scores on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were lower in former COVID-19 patients, compared to non-COVID-19 patients (p = 0.025). We found no differences between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients in cognitive and physical outcomes. Mental, cognitive and physical outcomes in COVID-19 ICU survivors were similar to non-COVID-19 ICU survivors. Mental symptoms in relatives of COVID-19 ICU survivors did not differ from relatives of non-COVID-19 ICU survivors, within the same time frame.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the influence of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 during the first 120 days after hospital discharge. METHODS Five academic centers conducted a retrospective analysis of mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 admitted during March through May 2020. Survivors had access to a multidisciplinary postintensive care recovery clinic. Physical, psychological, and cognitive deficits were measured using validated instruments and compared based on ECMO status. RESULTS Two hundred sixty two mechanically ventilated patients were compared with 46 patients cannulated for venovenous ECMO. Patients receiving ECMO were younger and traveled farther but there was no significant difference in gender, race, or body mass index. ECMO patients were mechanically ventilated for longer durations (median, 26 days [interquartile range, 19.5-41 days] vs 13 days [interquartile range, 7-20 days]) and were more likely to receive inhaled pulmonary vasodilators, neuromuscular blockade, investigational COVID-19 therapies, blood transfusions, and inotropes. Patients receiving ECMO experienced greater bleeding and clotting events (P < .01). However, survival at discharge was similar (69.6% vs 70.6%). Of the 217 survivors, 65.0% had documented follow-up within 120 days. Overall, 95.5% were residing at home, 25.7% had returned to work or usual activity, and 23.1% were still using supplemental oxygen; these rates did not differ significantly based on ECMO status. Rates of physical, psychological, and cognitive deficits were similar. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that COVID-19 survivors experience significant physical, psychological, and cognitive deficits following intensive care unit admission. Despite a more complex critical illness course, longer average duration of mechanical ventilation, and longer average length of stay, patients treated with venovenous ECMO had similar survival at discharge and outcomes within 120 days of discharge.

Aust Crit Care 2023; 36:863-871. [PMID: 36464526 DOI: 10.1016/j.aucc.2022.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that intensive care unit (ICU) survivors often suffer long-term complications such as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from critical illness and ICU stay. PICS and PTSD affect both ICU survivors and their families, which overburdens the healthcare systems. Lack of evidence on the comparative psychometric properties of assessment tools is a major barrier in evidence-based screening for post-ICU symptomatology and health-related quality of life. OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify existing tools for screening PTSD and PICS in ICU survivors and their families and to examine evidence on the validity, reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of existing tools, as reflected in published peer-reviewed studies. METHOD A scoping review based on literature searches (CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, Dissertations and Theses Global, and Google Scholar) and predefined eligibility criteria was conducted according to current scoping review guidelines. FINDINGS We identified 44 studies reporting on the development and assessment of psychometric properties of PICS/PTSD in ICU survivors or families globally. We identified five tools addressing all three aspects of PICS manifestations, one tool for both physical and mental aspects of PICS, and fivefive tools for quality-of-life assessment in ICU survivors. Altogether, 25 tools assess only one aspect of PICS: five for cognitive impairment, seven for physical impairment, and 13 for mental health impairment and PTSD in ICU survivors. However, only two tools were found for PICS-family assessment. Other findings include (i) unclear validity and often limited feasibility of tools, (ii) low diagnostic accuracy of cognitive assessment tools, and (iii) evidence of appropriate psychometric properties and feasibility of psychological health assessment tools. CONCLUSION These results have implications for the selection and implementation of the assessment methods as a means for promoting meaningful patient-centred clinical outcomes to minimise long-term sequelae, reduce the rate of rehospitalisation, and optimise recovery after ICU discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many critically ill patients report a change in their health-related quality of life after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. Patients who experience delirium during their ICU stay are perceived as a fragile group of ICU survivors, and the 'quality of life' phenomenon needs to be studied among these patients. AIM To explore everyday life experiences of critically ill patients with delirium during the ICU stay, from ICU discharge until 1-year follow-up, focusing on their health-related quality of life and cognitive function. STUDY DESIGN We used a descriptive qualitative research design and interviewed patients 1 year after ICU admission. The participants were recruited from a pre-planned one-year follow-up study of 'Agents Intervening against Delirium for patients in the Intensive Care Unit trial'. Data were analysed using Framework Analysis Method and content analysis. RESULTS Nine women and eight men participated and reported a struggle when returning to everyday life or adapting to a new normality from hospital discharge to 1 year later. None of the participants had been aware of the challenges they would face after hospital discharge. They described a need for more information about these challenges to themselves and about primary care to better understand their situation and the struggles they experience during recovery. One overall theme emerged from the analysis 'From enduring to adapting' with three subthemes: 'Struggling to regain a functional life', 'Struggling to regain normal cognition' and 'Distressing manifestations from the ICU'. CONCLUSIONS To improve recovery and the quality of rehabilitation for critically ill patients suffering from delirium, it is essential to understand the phenomenon of ICU survivorship and what this fragile group of patients is going through. It is necessary to bridge the gap between secondary and primary care so patients can receive optimal training and support when needed. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Bridging the gap between primary and secondary healthcare services is urgently needed to improve rehabilitation for ICU survivors after critical illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is common following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but the nature of the impairment is poorly understood. Our objective was to describe cognitive impairment in OHCA survivors, with the hypothesis that OHCA survivors would perform significantly worse on neuropsychological tests of cognition than controls with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Another aim was to investigate the relationship between cognitive performance and the associated factors of emotional problems, fatigue, insomnia, and cardiovascular risk factors following OHCA. METHODS This was a prospective case-control sub-study of The Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (TTM2) trial. Eight of 61 TTM2-sites in Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom included adults with OHCA of presumed cardiac or unknown cause. A matched non-arrest control group with acute MI was recruited. At approximately 7 months post-event, we administered an extensive neuropsychological test battery and questionnaires on anxiety, depression, fatigue, and insomnia, and collected information on the cardiovascular risk factors hypertension and diabetes. RESULTS Of 184 eligible OHCA survivors, 108 were included, with 92 MI controls enrolled. Amongst OHCA survivors, 29% performed z-score ≤ - 1 (at least borderline-mild impairment) in ≥ 2 cognitive domains, 14% performed z-score ≤ - 2 (major impairment) in ≥ 1 cognitive domain while 54% performed without impairment in any domain. Impairment was most pronounced in episodic memory, executive functions, and processing speed. OHCA survivors performed significantly worse than MI controls in episodic memory (mean difference, MD = - 0.37, 95% confidence intervals [- 0.61, - 0.12]), verbal (MD = - 0.34 [- 0.62, - 0.07]), and visual/constructive functions (MD = - 0.26 [- 0.47, - 0.04]) on linear regressions adjusted for educational attainment and sex. When additionally adjusting for anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, hypertension, and diabetes, executive functions (MD = - 0.44 [- 0.82, - 0.06]) were also worse following OHCA. Diabetes, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue were significantly associated with worse cognitive performance. CONCLUSIONS In our study population, cognitive impairment was generally mild following OHCA. OHCA survivors performed worse than MI controls in 3 of 6 domains. These results support current guidelines that a post-OHCA follow-up service should screen for cognitive impairment, emotional problems, and fatigue.

Mid-Term Evolution of the Serum Acylcarnitine Profile in Critically Ill Survivors: A Metabolic Insight into Survivorship. Nutrients 2023; 15:3595. [PMID: 37630785 PMCID: PMC10458357 DOI: 10.3390/nu15163595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
It is unknown if the abnormal acylcarnitine (AC) profile observed early after discharge of a prolonged stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) would persist over time. This prospective observational study aimed to describe the mid-term AC profile evolution in survivors of a prolonged ICU stay (≥7 days). Adults enrolled in our post-ICU follow-up program and who attended the consultation 3 months (M3) after discharge were included. Serum AC concentrations were assessed within 7 days following ICU discharge (T0) and at M3. A total of 64 survivors were analyzed after an ICU stay of 15 (9-24) days. Free carnitine (C0) concentration decreased from 45.89 (35.80-127.5) to 28.73 (20.31-38.93) µmol/L (p < 0.001). C0 deficiency was not observed at T0 but in 7/64 (11%) survivors at M3. The total AC/C0 ratio (normal ≤ 0.4) was 0.33 (0.24-0.39) at T0 and reached 0.39 (0.30-0.56) at M3 (p = 0.001). A ratio >0.4 was observed in 16/64 (25%) at T0 and in 32/64 (50%) at M3 (p = 0.006). The short-chain ACs decreased from 1.310 (0.927-1.829) at T0 to 0.945 (0.709-1.127) µmol/L at M3 (p < 0.001). In parallel, the urea/creatinine ratio and the Sarcopenic Index, respectively, decreased and increased between T0 and M3. This AC profile is suspected to signal a mitochondrial dysfunction and was, especially for short-chain ACs, a marker of protein catabolism.

Nutrients 2023; 15:3545.

Abstract
ICU (intensive care unit) patients are exposed to nutritional risks such as swallowing problems and delayed gastric emptying. A previous ICU stay may affect nutritional support upon transfer to the ward. The aim was to study the use of enteral (EN), parenteral nutrition (PN), and oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in ward patients with and without a previous ICU stay, also referred to as post- and non-ICU patients. In total, 136,667 adult patients from the nutritionDay audit 2010-2019 were included. A previous ICU stay was defined as an ICU stay during the current hospitalisation before nutritionDay. About 10% of all patients were post-ICU patients. Post-ICU patients were more frequently exposed to risk factors such as a BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, weight loss, decreased mobility, fair or poor health status, less eating and a longer hospital length of stay before nDay. Two main results were shown. First, both post- and non-ICU patients were inadequately fed: About two thirds of patients eating less than half a meal did not receive EN, PN, or ONS. Second, post-ICU patients had a 1.3 to 2.0 higher chance to receive EN, PN, or ONS compared to non-ICU patients in multivariable models, accounting for sex, age, BMI, weight change, mobility, health status, amount eaten on nutritionDay, hospital length of stay, and surgical status. Based on these results, two future goals are suggested to improve nutritional support on the ward: first, insufficient eating should trigger nutritional therapy in both post- and non-ICU patients; second, medical caregivers should not neglect nutritional support in non-ICU patients.

Abstract
Purpose To describe the long-term physical, functional and mental status of COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU) patients and their family members 1 year after ICU discharge. Methods We performed a prospective observational cohort study among patients admitted to the ICU for COVID-19-associated respiratory failure and their family members. Patients attended a one-year follow-up consultation with family members. Physical, functional and respiratory outcomes were collected. In addition, participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Revised Impact of Event Scale. Qualitative components were collected during a 2-h face-to-face interview. Results Fifty-four patients and 42 family members were included. Thirty-four (63%) patients reported chronic fatigue and 37 (68.5%) dyspnea. Computed tomography scans were abnormal in 34 patients (72.3%). Anxiety symptoms were present in 23 (48%) patients and 26 (66%) family members, depression in 11 (23%) and 13 (33%), and post-traumatic stress disorder in 12 (25%) and 23 (55%), respectively. Visit limitation was reported as the most painful experience for family members. Numerous patients recalled nightmares that contributed to the anxiety. Long-term reconstruction was difficult for both patients and family members. Conclusion The vast majority of patients and their relatives reported long-term consequences on various physical and mental components, leading to a profound impact on their well-being.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis survivors are at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease during long-term follow-up. Whether diabetes influences cardiovascular risk after sepsis survival remains unknown. We sought to describe the association of diabetes with long-term cardiovascular outcomes in adult sepsis survivors. METHODS Population-based cohort study in the province of Ontario, Canada (2008-2017). Adult survivors of a first sepsis-associated hospitalization, without pre-existing cardiovascular disease, were included. Main exposure was pre-existing diabetes (any type). The primary outcome was the composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death. Patients were followed up to 5 years from discharge date until outcome occurrence or end of study period (March 2018). We used propensity score matching (i.e., 1:1 to patients with sepsis but no pre-existing diabetes) to adjust for measured confounding at baseline. Cause-specific Cox proportional hazards models with robust standard errors were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) alongside 95% confidence intervals (CI). A main secondary analysis evaluated the modification of the association between sepsis and cardiovascular disease by pre-existing diabetes. RESULTS 78,638 patients with pre-existing diabetes who had a sepsis-associated hospitalization were matched to patients hospitalized for sepsis but without diabetes. Mean age of patients was 71 years, and 55% were female. Median duration from diabetes diagnosis was 9.8 years; mean HbA1c was 7.1%. Adult sepsis survivors with pre-existing diabetes experienced a higher hazard of major cardiovascular disease (HR 1.25; 95% CI 1.22-1.29)-including myocardial infarction (HR 1.40; 95% CI 1.34-1.47) and stroke (HR 1.24; 95% CI 1.18-1.29)-during long-term follow-up compared to sepsis survivors without diabetes. Pre-existing diabetes modified the association between sepsis and cardiovascular disease (risk difference: 2.3%; 95% CI 2.0-2.6 and risk difference: 1.8%; 95% CI 1.6-2.0 for the effect of sepsis-compared to no sepsis-among patients with and without diabetes, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Sepsis survivors with pre-existing diabetes experience a higher long-term hazard of major cardiovascular events when compared to sepsis survivors without diabetes. Compared to patients without sepsis, the absolute risk increase of cardiovascular events after sepsis is higher in patients with diabetes (i.e., diabetes intensified the higher cardiovascular risk induced by sepsis).

Abstract
Individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection can develop symptoms that persist well beyond the acute phase of COVID-19 or emerge after the acute phase, lasting for weeks or months after the initial acute illness. The post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, which include physical, cognitive, and mental health impairments, are known collectively as long COVID or post-COVID-19 condition. The substantial burden of this multisystem condition is felt at individual, health-care system, and socioeconomic levels, on an unprecedented scale. Survivors of COVID-19-related critical illness are at risk of the well known sequelae of acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, and chronic critical illness, and these multidimensional morbidities might be difficult to differentiate from the specific effects of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. We provide an overview of the manifestations of post-COVID-19 condition after critical illness in adults. We explore the effects on various organ systems, describe potential pathophysiological mechanisms, and consider the challenges of providing clinical care and support for survivors of critical illness with multisystem manifestations. Research is needed to reduce the incidence of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19-related critical illness and to optimise therapeutic and rehabilitative care and support for patients.
