A Modified Physical Disability Screening Model after Treatment in the Intensive Care Unit: A Nationwide Derivation-Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many of the survivors of critical illnesses in the intensive care unit (ICU) suffer from physical disability for months after the treatment in the ICU. Identifying patients who are susceptible to disability is essential. The purpose of the study was to modify a model for early in-ICU prediction of the patient's risk for physical disability two months after the treatment in the ICU.

Methods

A prospective multicenter derivation-validation study was conducted from 1 July 2015, to 31 August 2016. We modified a model consisting of three risk factors in the derivation group and tested the modified model in the validation group. They were asked for their physical abilities before being admitted, two months after discharge from the ICU by a binary ADL staircases questionn
