ObjectivesTo assess the delirium severity (DS), its risk factors and association with adverse patient outcomes in chronically critically ill (CCI) patients.DesignA prospective cohort study.SettingA tertiary care hospital with postacute intensive care units (ICUs) in Germany.ParticipantsN=267 CCI patients with critical illness polyneuropathy and/or critical illness myopathy, aged 18–75 years, who had undergone elective tracheotomy for weaning failure.InterventionsNone.MeasuresPrimary outcomes: DS was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit-7 delirium severity score, within 4 weeks (t1) after the transfer to a tertiary care hospital. In post hoc analyses, univariate linear regressions were employed, examining the relationship of DS with clinical, sociodemographic and psychological variables. Secondary outcomes: additionally, correlations of DS with fatigue (using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20), quality of life (using the Euro-Quality of Life) and institutionalisation/mortality at 3 (t2) and 6 (t3) months follow-up were computed.ResultsOf the N=267 patients analysed, 9.4% showed severe or most severe delirium symptoms. 4.1% had a full-syndromal delirium. DS was significantly associated with the severity of illness (p=0.016, 95% CI −0.1 to −0.3), number of medical comorbidities (p<0.001, 95% CI .1 to .3) and sepsis (p<0.001, 95% CI .3 to 1.0). Patients with a higher DS at postacute ICU (t1), showed a higher mental fatigue at t2 (p=0.008, 95% CI .13 to .37) and an increased risk for institutionalisation/mortality (p=0.043, 95% CI 1.1 to 28.9/p=0.015, 95% CI 1.5 to 43.2).ConclusionsIllness severity is positively associated with DS during postacute care in CCI patients. An adequate management of delirium is essential in order to mitigate functional and cognitive long-term sequelae following ICU.Trial registration numberDRKS00003386.
