Feasibility of In-Hospital Administration of a Tool to Predict Persistent Post-ICU Functional Impairment Among Older ICU Survivors: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A recent international consensus conference called for the development of risk prediction models to identify ICU survivors at increased risk of each of the post-ICU syndrome domains. We previously developed and validated a risk prediction tool for functional impairment after ICU admission among older adults.

Research question

In this pilot study, we assessed the feasibility of administering the risk prediction tool in the hospital to older adults who had just survived critical illness. An exploratory objective was to evaluate whether augmentation of the model with additional hospital-related factors improved discrimination.

Study design and methods

Between January and October 2020, 50 adults aged 65 years and older underwent in-hospital administration of th
