Physical recovery of COVID-19 pneumosepsis intensive care survivors compared with non-COVID pneumosepsis intensive care survivors during post-intensive care hospitalization: The RECOVID retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronavirusdisease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumosepsis survivors are at a high risk of developing intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICUAW) because of high incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome and the common need for prolonged invasive ventilation. It remains unknown whether regular postpneumosepsis physical rehabilitation strategies are suitable for this extraordinary patient category.

Methods

We retrospectively compared the physical recovery of COVID-19 and non-COVID pneumosepsis ICU survivors during post-ICU hospitalization, defined as the difference in performance on the Medical Research Council Sum-Score (MRC-SS), Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool (CPAx), and percentage of predicted handgrip strength (POP-HGS). An analysis of covar
