Long-Term Morbidity Associated With Non-COVID-19 Pneumonia in Patients Receiving Mechanical Ventilation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the impact of acute respiratory illnesses on long-term morbidity. However, the long-term morbidity associated with non-COVID-19 pneumonia is unclear, particularly in patients who are receiving mechanical ventilation.

Research question

What is the burden of 12-month long-term cognitive impairment (LTCI), functional impairment, psychological distress, and quality of life in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation for non-COVID-19 pneumonia?

Study design and methods

This single-site prospective cohort study enrolled patients with non-COVID-19 pneumonia receiving mechanical ventilation in the emergency department and ICUs from June 18, 2018, through August 30, 2021. Global cognition at 12 months was measured by
