Potential diagnostic tools for intensive care unit acquired weakness: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intensive care unit-acquired weakness is a prevalent complication among critically ill patients, associated with heightened mortality rates, extended durations of mechanical ventilation and hospital stays, as well as diminished mobility and unfavorable prognoses. Early diagnosis of intensive care unit-acquired weakness and identification of its subcategories are essential for early implementation of targeted interventions and care strategies. Nevertheless, there remains a significant gap in the availability of widely accepted, accurate, and user-friendly diagnostic tools for intensive care unit-acquired weakness.

Objective

The aim of this research was to conduct a comprehensive review of pertinent studies on diagnostic tools for intensive care unit-acquired weakne
