Discrepancy Between Functional Outcomes and Perceived Health post-ICU: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Rationale: Despite functional impairments, 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, and perceived health one year after ICU admission.

Methods: Data from an ongoing prospective multicenter cohort study, MONITOR-IC, were used.

Changes in quality of life 1 year after intensive care: a multicenter prospective cohort of ICU survivors.

Background: With survival rates of critical illness increasing, quality of life measures are becoming an important outcome of ICU treatment. Therefore, to study the impact of critical illness on quality of life, we explored quality of life before and 1 year after ICU admission in different subgroups of ICU survivors.

Methods: Data from an ongoing prospective multicenter cohort study, the MONITOR-IC, were used.

One-year outcomes in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 intensive care unit survivors.

Purpose: To determine differences in one-year multi-domain health outcomes in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU) survivors.

Materials And Methods: Adult ICU survivors treated for COVID-19 were compared to a control group consisting of survivors admitted for respiratory distress due to other causes, i.e.

Mental health symptoms in family members of COVID-19 ICU survivors 3 and 12 months after ICU admission: a multicentre prospective cohort study.

Purpose: Long-term mental outcomes in family members of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) intensive care unit (ICU) survivors are unknown. Therefore, we assessed the prevalence of mental health symptoms, including associated risk factors, and quality of life (QoL) in family members of COVID-19 ICU survivors 3 and 12 months post-ICU.

Methods: A prospective multicentre cohort study in ICUs of ten Dutch hospitals, including adult family members of COVID-19 ICU survivors admitted between March 1, and July 1, 2020.

Clinical Outcomes Among Patients With 1-Year Survival Following Intensive Care Unit Treatment for COVID-19.

Importance: One-year outcomes in patients who have had COVID-19 and who received treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) are unknown.

Objective: To assess the occurrence of physical, mental, and cognitive symptoms among patients with COVID-19 at 1 year after ICU treatment.

Design, Setting, And Participants: An exploratory prospective multicenter cohort study conducted in ICUs of 11 Dutch hospitals.

The association between ICU level of care and mortality in the Netherlands.

Purpose: The relationship between the number of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) volume and mortality is currently the subject of debate. After implementation of a national guideline in 2006, all Dutch ICUs have been classified into three levels based on ICU size, patient volume, ventilation days, and staffing. The goal of this study is to investigate the association between ICU level and mortality of ICU patients in the Netherlands.
