Abstract BackgroundMany studies have compared quality of life of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) patients with age-matched population-based controls, instead of baseline quality of life. Furthermore, many studies on PICS used the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) health survey questionnaire version 2 but lack the data for SF-36 values before and after intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Thus, the clinically important changes in the parameters of SF-36 are unknown. Therefore, we determined the frequency of co-occurrence of PICS impairments at 6 months after ICU admission. We also evaluated the changes in SF-36 health survey questionnaire subscales and interpreted the patients’ subjective significance of impairment.MethodsA prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study was conducted in 16 ICUs across 14 Japanese hospitals. Adult ICU patients expected to receive mechanical ventilation for > 48 hours were enrolled and their 6-month outcome was assessed using the questionnaires. PICS definition was based on the physical status, change in SF-36 physical component score (PCS) ≥ 10 points; mental status, change in SF-36 mental component score ≥ 10 points; cognitive function, Short-Memory Questionnaire (SMQ) score worsened and SMQ score at 6 months < 40. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the factors associated with PICS occurrence. The patients’ subjective significance of physical and mental symptoms was assessed using the 7-scale Global Assessment Rating.ResultsAmong 192 patients, 48 (29.6%) died at 6 months. Among the survivors at 6 months, 96 patients responded to the questionnaire; ≥1 PICS impairment occurred in 61 (63.5%) patients, and ≥ 2 occurred in 19 (19.9%) patients. Physical, mental, and cognitive impairments occurred in 33.3%, 14.6%, and 37.5% patients, respectively. Low education level was associated with PICS occurrence (Odds ratio: 3.8, 95% confidence interval: 1.1–17.9, P=0.036). Based on the patients’ subjective assessment, a 10-point change in PCS indicated moderate negative change.ConclusionsAmong the survivors who received mechanical ventilation, 64% had PICS at 6 months; co-occurrence of PICS impairments occurred in 20%. PICS occurrence was associated with low educational level. Future studies elucidating the minimal clinically important difference of SF-36 scores among the ICU patients and standardizing the PICS definition are required.Trial registrationUMIN000034072

Population with only mandatory education was associated with PICS occurrence (odds ratio: 4.0, 95% confidence interval: 1.1–18.8, P=0.029). The MCID of PCS and MCS scores was 6.5 and 8.0, respectively.Conclusions Among the survivors who received mechanical ventilation, 64% had PICS at 6 months; co-occurrence of PICS impairments occurred in 20%.

Patients may experience long-term physical, psychological and cognitive impairment after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge, a condition commonly described as post-intensive care syndrome. The relative contribution of each of these components to long-term quality of life was never investigated.The aim of this studyis to identify the type and severity of disability and QoL at the discharge from ICU and up to following 6 months.Material and Methods. All patients (n=218) discharged from a university hospital ICU between April 2016 and July 2017 were eligible. Exclusion criteria included: age <18 years, brain or spinal injury, life expectancy <90 days, and ICU stay <12 hours. The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and 5-level EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaires were administered at ICU discharge, and at 30-, 90- and 180-days. We compared patients requiring short-term ICU monitoring (IM, Intensive Monitoring,n=109) or patients requiring ICU treatment (IT, Intensive Treatment,n=109).Results. All dimensions of SF-36 and EQ-5D-5L parameters increased from ICU discharge to 180-days, except for the SF-36 Synthetic index linked to mental health (P=0.08). All EQ-5D-5L parameters improved significantly in the IT group, while only Visual Analog Scale Health Perception improved in the IM group.Conclusion. ICU survivors suffer long-term physical and psychological sequelae. The perception of Quality of Life is reduced after ICU discharge. The psychological and cognitive dimensions were more compromised than physical ones. Patients discharged from the ICU may benefit from specific intensive care follow-up clinics addressing their needs in term of psychological and cognitive support.

Background Family members of critically ill patients experience indications of post–intensive care syndrome, including anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Despite increased use of long-term acute care hospitals for critically ill patients, little is known about the impact of long-term hospitalization on patients’ family members. Objectives To examine indications of post–intensive care syndrome, coping strategies, and health-related quality of life among family decision makers during and after patients’ long-term hospitalization. Methods A single-center, prospective, longitudinal descriptive study was undertaken of family decision makers of adult patients admitted to long-term acute care hospitals. Indications of post–intensive care syndrome and coping strategies were measured on the day of hospital admission and 30 and 60 days later. Health-related quality of life was measured by using the Short Form-36, version 2, at admission and 60 days later. Results The sample consisted of 30 family decision makers. On admission, 27% reported moderate to severe anxiety, and 20% reported moderate to severe depression. Among the decision makers, 10% met criteria for a provisional diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder. At admission, the mean physical summary score for quality of life was 47.8 (SD, 9.91) and the mean mental summary score was 48.00 (SD, 10.28). No significant changes occurred during the study period. Problem-focused coping was the most frequently used coping strategy at all time points. Conclusion Family decision makers of patients in long-term acute care hospitals have a significant prevalence of indications of post–intensive care syndrome.
