Objective: To examine the association between the mobilization level during intensive care unit (ICU) admission and independence in activity of daily living (ADL), defined as Barthel Index (BI)≥70.
Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis of the EMPICS study involving nine hospitals. Consecutive patients who spend >48 hours in the ICU were eligible for inclusion.
Background The mobilization quantification score (MQS) provides an opportunity to quantify the duration and intensity of mobilization therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU) and predict functional outcomes in ICU patients after surgery and stroke. MQS is a numerical measurement of early mobilization dose in the ICU, and its relationship with activities of daily living (ADL) dependence has been shown. We created and validated the Japanese version of the MQS using the endpoint ADL in a mixed population of patients in the ICU.

Consecutive patients, admitted to the ICU for more than 48 h, were enrolled. The primary outcome was the incidence of psychiatric symptoms at 3 months after hospital discharge defined as the presence of any of three symptoms: depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

A multi-center retrospective observational study was conducted at nine hospitals between January 2017 and March 2018. The safety profiles and PSE of 87 patients were analyzed.
