What Matters to Patients and Their Families During and After Critical Illness: A Qualitative Study

“…1 As the population of ICU survivors has increased, research has shifted to understanding and improving outcomes of survivors and, in particular, on providing high-quality patient-and family-centered care (PFCC). [2][3][4][5][6][7] Such care is a target for reimbursement through value-based purchasing programs, forms a basis of the National Academy of Medicine's definition of health care quality, and is prioritized in research funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. [8][9][10] However, there is no agreed-upon definition for PFCC in the ICU, and national, patient-reported quality assessments on hospital care do not specifically ask about ICU experiences.…”

Long term outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 pneumonia patients: early learning

“…This cohort had a significant burden of acute illness requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation and high rates of neuromuscular blockade. Despite this, we report meaningful early recovery including increased return to employment in a single centre, from a small sample [ 5 ]. However, caution should be taken with the interpretation of these outcomes, as employment status can fluctuate following critical illness [ 5 ].…”

“…Despite this, we report meaningful early recovery including increased return to employment in a single centre, from a small sample [ 5 ]. However, caution should be taken with the interpretation of these outcomes, as employment status can fluctuate following critical illness [ 5 ]. Furthermore, HRQoL was similar to a previous ARDS cohort (Median HUS, 0.77) and better than a previous cohort of survivors from our own centre (Median HUS, 0.29) [ 3 , 6 ].…”

Prediction Models for Physical, Cognitive, and Mental Health Impairments After Critical Illness: A Systematic Review and Critical Appraisal

“…A recent large, observational study reported that 64% and 56% of their cohort experienced one or more impairments in the domains of PICS, at 3 and 12 months, respectively ( 4 ). Such impairments prevent individuals from returning to their previous familial roles and impact return to employment ( 5 , 6 ). Ensuing morbidity has broad public health and societal implications ( 7 ).…”
