Rehabilitation and Social Determinants of Health in Critical Illness Recovery Literature: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patients who survive critical illness navigate arduous and disparate recovery pathways that include referrals and participation in community-based rehabilitation services. Examining rehabilitation pathways during recovery is crucial to understanding the relationship on patient-centered outcomes. Furthermore, an understanding of social determinants of health (SDOH) in relation to outcomes and rehabilitation use will help ensure equitable access for future care. Therefore, there is a need to define and understand patient care pathways, specifically rehabilitation after discharge, through a SDOH lens after surviving a critical illness to improve long-term outcomes.
