Predictors of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome in ICU Survivors After Discharge: An Observational Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) includes new or worsening physical, cognitive, and mental impairments following intensive care unit (ICU) admission. However, its predictors remain poorly defined. This study aimed to identify the predictors of PICS among ICU survivors 30 days after discharge. Methods: This prospective, monocentric, observational study was conducted from September 2023 to March 2024. Adult ICU survivors were assessed using the Healthy Ageing Brain Care Monitor to evaluate their physical, cognitive, and mental dimensions. The predictors included age, sex, coma, sedation, clinical severity (APACHE score), risk of ICU delirium (PREDELIRIC score), infection, hospital length of stay, and mechanical ventilation duration.
