“…In the reference group the number of people that had pre-existing diseases was 3095 (51%) (data not shown). The most common pre-existing disease was psychiatric/abuse problems (15.7 %) as 12 indicated by the medical records. Importantly a lower percentage of these problems were indicated by the patient in the patient inquiry (p=0.001).…”

“…The most important are age, (4)(5)(6)(7)(8) sex, (6,9) and intensive care-related factors such as APACHE II score, (5,10) admission diagnosis (11,12) and length of stay in the ICU. (8) In three recent studies we have found that pre-existing disease is a major contributor to a reduced HRQoL after critical care for reasons other than trauma.…”

“…Assessment of the level of patients' cognitive and functional impairment after a period of significant stress and of their potential need for help to reenter the family and social environments can both be of help to better understanding the repercussions of acute disease or trauma and of medical care. 8 While there are many studies of health condition and instruments for measuring quality of life in adults, 9 few instruments have been validated for use with children. 4 The majority of these only measure the degree of incapacity with questions on recovery or development.…”

Objective: To assess the impact of admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil on children's cognitive and global performance.Methods: An observational, longitudinal study of a sequential sample of critically ill children. The following indicators were used: the Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM), for severity and risk of death at admission, the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC), for cognitive morbidity and the Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC), for global morbidity, at admission and at discharge. Morbidity related to the ICU was measured according to the difference between classifications at discharge and at admission (delta scores). The Kruskal-Wallis test was applied.Results: A total of 443 patients were assessed, 54% of whom were male, with a median age of 12 months (IQ 4-45), and a median ICU stay of 4.24 days (IQ 2.4-8). The mortality rate was 6.3%. The median PIM score was 2.36% (IQ 1-7). On admission, 46% of the patients had some degree of cognitive morbidity and 66% had some degree of global morbidity. At discharge there was 60% cognitive morbidity and 86% global morbidity. The assessment of ICUrelated morbidity revealed that 25% of the patients had undergone cognitive changes while 41% had undergone global variations, at discharge compared with admission. Conclusions:Although affected by the elevated degree of morbidity at admission, the impact of the ICU stay was more significant in the global than in the cognitive domain. In the same manner, both risk of death at admission and length of stay had a significant effect on the morbidity of severely ill patients.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2007;83(6): 505-511:Outcome, critical care, pediatric cerebral performance category, pediatric overall performance category, morbidity.

Quality of life 6 months after intensive care: results of a prospective multicenter study using a generic health status scale and a satisfaction scale

Abstract: Quality of life measured with a health-related quality of life scale and a satisfaction scale 6 months after an ICU stay depended on the admission diagnosis. Different dimensions of quality of life were variably affected.
