Physical, Mental, and Cognitive Health Status of ICU Survivors Before ICU Admission: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Although patient's health status before ICU admission is the most important predictor for long-term outcomes, it is often not taken into account, potentially overestimating the attributable effects of critical illness. Studies that did assess the pre-ICU health status often included specific patient groups or assessed one specific health domain. Our aim was to explore patient's physical, mental, and cognitive functioning, as well as their quality of life before ICU admission.

Design

Baseline data were used from the longitudinal prospective MONITOR-IC cohort study.

Setting

ICUs of four Dutch hospitals.

Patients

Adult ICU survivors (n = 2,467) admitted between July 2016 and December 2018.

Interventions

None.
