Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how living distance from an ICU affects disability outcomes for patients who survived critical illness, focusing on those living over 50 km versus within 50 km of the treating ICU.
- - Conducted across five metropolitan ICUs, the research involved 262 adults who were mechanically ventilated for over 24 hours and assessed their disability, health status, and psychological function six months post-discharge.
- - Findings revealed no significant difference in reported disability levels between patients living within 50 km and those living farther away, indicating distance from the ICU may not impact recovery outcomes as initially hypothesized.
Purpose: To determine predictors of inability to return to work due to health six-months after intensive care admission; and compare functional recovery between patients who had not returned to work and employed patients.
Methods: Participants were working adults admitted to ICU who received >24 h of mechanical ventilation. Outcomes included inability to return to work due to health at six-months post-ICU admission, disability, health status, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress.
In the Results section, under the subheading "Return to work or usual activities", the second sentence should read.

Methods: A prospective, multicentre cohort study conducted in five metropolitan intensive care units (ICU). Participants were adults who had been admitted to the ICU, received more than 24 h of mechanical ventilation and survived to hospital discharge.
