Relationship between grip strength during hospitalisation and mental disorders after discharge in critically ill patients: a post-hoc analysis of a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is a recognised sequela after critical care. The development of an index that predicts PICS mental disorders will be of significance for the selection of subsequent interventions.

We hypothesised that grip strength during hospitalisation may be associated with the PICS mental status after discharge.

Design

A post-hoc analysis of a multicentre prospective observational study.

Setting

Nine hospitals in Japan.

Participants

Patients who were newly admitted to intensive care unit and stayed for at least 48 hours were included. Exclusion criteria were patients younger than 18 years, those who required assistance with ambulation prior to
