Background: Critically ill patients are more likely to survive intensive care than ever before due to advances in treatment. However, a proportion subsequently experiences post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) incurring substantial personal, social, and economic costs. PICS is a debilitating set of physical, psychological, and cognitive sequelae but the size and characteristics of the affected population have been difficult to describe, impeding progress in intensive care rehabilitation.Aims and objectives: The aim of this protocol is to describe recovery after admission to intensive care unit (ICU) and the predictors, correlates, and patient-reported outcomes for those experiencing PICS. The study will support the development of screening, diagnostic, and outcome measures to improve post-ICU recovery.Design: A prospective, multi-site observational study in three ICUs in Brisbane, Australia. Following consent, data will be collected from clinical records and using validated self-report instruments from 300 patients, followed up at 6 weeks and 6 months post ICU discharge.
