Evaluating optimal rehabilitation strategies in ICU: study protocol for a multicentre cohort study to assess Physical Activity dosing, Muscle mass, and physICal outcomeS (IPAMICS study).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many patients who get discharged from the intensive care unit experience physical dysfunction that persists even after discharge. Physical dysfunction is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and accompanying intensive care unit-acquired weakness in the early stages of intensive care unit admission, and early diagnosis and prevention with early mobilization are crucial. However, the amount of physical activity required for early mobilization remains controversial in critically ill patients. This study aims to reveal the optimal mobilization quantification score dose associated with physical dysfunction after hospital discharge.

Methods

This is a multicenter prospective cohort study planned in 22 facilities; all consecutive patients admitted to the participating
