Survivors of critical illness often suffer from reduced health-related quality life (HRQoL) due to long-term physical, cognitive, and mental health problems, also known as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Some intensive unit (ICU) survivors even consider their state unacceptable. The aim this study was investigate the determinants self-reported unacceptable outcome ICU treatment.Patients who were admitted for at least 48 h survived first year after discharge completed validated...
Objectives To improve patient safety, potential critical events should be analyzed for the existence of preventive barriers. The aim this study was to prospectively identify existing and missing barriers using Bow-Tie model. We expected that analysis these would lead feasible recommendations safety in daily care. Methods Multidisciplinary teams doctors nurses on a 28 bed ICU conducted study. performed intrahospital transportation, unplanned extubation, communication, which led 9 events. For...
Abstract Background Multiple factors contribute to mortality after ICU, but it is unclear how the predictive value of these changes during ICU admission. We aimed compare changing performance over time acute illness component, antecedent patient characteristics, and length stay (LOS) in predicting 1-year mortality. Methods In this retrospective observational cohort study, discriminative four generalized mixed-effects models was compared for hospital Among patients with increasing LOS,...
Objectives: To develop a consensus framework that can guide the process of decision-making on continuing or limiting life-sustaining treatments in ICU patients, using evidence-based items, supported by caregivers, and surrogate decision makers from multiple countries. Design: A three-round web-based international Delphi study with priori definition was conducted experts 13 Participants reviewed items seven-point Likert scale open-ended questions. Questions concerned terminology, content,...
Rationale: Despite functional impairments, intensive care unit (ICU) survivors can perceive their quality of life as acceptable. Objectives: To investigate discrepancies between calculated health, based on self-reported physical, mental, and cognitive functioning perceived 1 year after ICU admission. Methods: Data from an ongoing prospective multicenter cohort study, MONITOR-IC, were used. Patient-reported health (EuroQol visual analog scale; range, 0-100) post-ICU patients admitted to 11...
Abstract To compare mental, cognitive and physical outcomes between COVID-19 non-COVID-19 patients, 3–6 months after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment during the pandemic to mental relatives of these patients. This retrospective cohort study included 209 ICU survivors (141 patients 68 patients) 168 their (maximum one per patient) pandemic. Primary were self-reported occurrence and/or symptoms discharge. The did not differ former (34.7% [43/124]) (43.5% [27/62]) ( p = 0.309), neither (37.6%...
Background: Because mortality and amputation rates are declining for necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs), this study aimed to assesses the self-reported one-year quality of life (QoL) severely ill patients with NSTI who survived beyond intensive care unit (ICU). Patients Methods: A retrospective cohort admitted ICU between 2010 2019 was conducted. year after discharge, QoL assessed using three-level EuroQol five-dimensions (EQ-5D-3L) questionnaire, Impact Event Scale-Revised (IES-R)...
Background: The aim of this study was to identify the cause death in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) stratified by patient's pre-existing comorbidities (American Society Anesthesiologists [ASA] classification 3/4 vs. ASA 1/2). Differences clinical presentation, mortality rate, and factors associated between those two comorbidity groups were investigated. Patients Methods: A retrospective multicenter NSTIs 2010 2020 conducted. primary outcome within first 30 days....
Objective: Literature shows high in-hospital mortality rates following end-of-life decisions in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury. This study investigated 2-year and Design: Explorative retrospective a Dutch level 1 trauma centre. Patients: All consecutive between 2015 2020 new injury were selected from the registry. Patients excluded if myelopathy, cauda equina, or conus medullaris was absent they referred to another Methods: Mortality (i.e. withdrawal withholding of treatment,...
