The aims of this retrospective study were to describe PNI prevalence 3 months (M3) after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge, whether patients survived COVID-19 or another critical illness, and to search for risk factors of PNI.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 55 COVID (62 [54-69] years) and 22 non-COVID (61.5 [48-71.5] years) patients were followed at M3, after an ICU stay of respectively 15 [9-26.5] and 13.5 [10-19.8] days. PNI symptoms were reported by 23/55 (42.6%) COVID-19 and 8/22 (36%) non-COVID-19 patients (p = 0.798). As the incidence of PNI was similar in both groups, the entire population was used to determine risk factorJournal of anesthesia, analgesia and critical care10https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10858596biostudies-literatureIncidence and risk factors of peripheral nerve injuries 3 months after ICU discharge: a retrospective study comparing COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 critically ill survivors.PMC10858596Malengreaux CColson CMisset BDardenne NRousseau AFMinguet PfalseIncidence and risk factors of peripheral nerve injuries 3 months after ICU discharge: a retrospective study comparing COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 critically ill survivors.<h4>Background</h4>Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) have been associated with prone positioning (PP) in mechanically ventilated (MV) patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
