Intensive care-related loss of quality of life and autonomy at 6 months post-discharge: Does COVID-19 really make things worse?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare old patients hospitalized in ICU for respiratory distress due to COVID-19 with old patients hospitalized in ICU for a non-COVID-19-related reason in terms of autonomy and quality of life.

Design

Comparison of two prospective multi-centric studies.

Setting

This study was based on two prospective multi-centric studies, the Senior-COVID-Rea cohort (COVID-19-diagnosed ICU-admitted patients aged over 60) and the FRAGIREA cohort (ICU-admitted patients aged over 70).

Patients

We included herein the patients from both cohorts who had been evaluated at day 180 after admission (ADL score and quality of life).

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

A total of 93 COVID-19 patients and 185 control-ICU patients were included. Bot
