Risk factors for readmission of COVID-19 ICU survivors: A three-year follow up.

ABSTRACT: Background & objectives Evidence suggests that individuals who have been hospitalised due to COVID-19 are more susceptible to future mortality and readmission, thereby imposing a substantial strain on their quality of life. The available data on intensive care unit (ICU) survivors, particularly in terms of long-term outcomes, is notably insufficient. This study focused on the long-term outcomes for ICU survivors of COVID-19, specifically readmission and mortality, as well as possible risk factors that could lead to their need for readmission. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study of 505 individuals admitted to the ICU of a tertiary care hospital between March 2020 and March 2021. Follow up concluded in January 2024. We evaluated the need for hospital and ICU readmissions,
