We aimed to describe the one-year (1-y) functional status of survivors of COVID-19 critical illness, compared to non-COVID-19 survivors, and compared to their pre-ICU status. Adults who survived a COVID-19 critical illness (COVID group) during the first two waves in 2 hospitals were contacted by phone 1-y after discharge. They were compared to non-COVID-19 ICU survivors. A standardized assessment focused on quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), autonomy for activities of daily living (Barthel Index), and physical activity quantification (IPAQ-SF). Patients rated their 1-y and pre-ICU status. We included 220 survivors (132 COVID and 88 NC). Their age and severity scores were similar. ICU stay was shorter in NC group (3 [3−6] d) than in COVID group (8 [4.2−16.7] d) (p = 0.001). Proportions of organ supports were similar in the two groups. At 1-y, a significant reduction in EQ-5D-3L total score, in Barthel Index and in physical activity was observed in both groups, compared to the respective baseline values. Dependency (Barthel < 100) was observed in at least 35% of survivors at 1-y. Independently of the critical illness, HRQoL, autonomy and physical activities at 1-y were still significantly inferior to the pre-ICU values.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of a lung-protective ventilation strategy utilizing transpulmonary driving pressure titrated positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the prognosis [mechanical ventilation duration, hospital stay, 28-day mortality rate and incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), survival outcome] of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
Methods: A total of 105 ARDS patients were randomly assigned to either the control group (n = 51) or the study group (n = 53). The control group received PEEP titration based on tidal volume [A tidal volume of 6 mL/kg, flow rate of 30-60 L/min, frequency of 16-20 breaths/min, constant flow rate, inspiratory-to-expiratory ratio of 1:1 to 1:1.
Potential risk factors for reduced quality of life and increased health care utilization in ARDS survivors: results from the multicenter cohort study DACAPO.

Medical Faculty, Institute of Social Medicine and Health Systems Research, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Leipziger Str. 44, 39120, Magdeburg, Germany.
Aim: To analyze the association of individual pre-ICU risk factors (obesity, physical and mental comorbidity, smoking status) on the long-term recovery process in survivors of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS; outcomes: health related quality of life, health care utilization; measured at 12, 24, and 36 months after ICU discharge).
Findings: Results show a possible causal link between pre-ICU risk factors and subsequent recovery of survivors of ARDS, especially with regard to mental health related quality of life.
Purpose: Identifying relevant pre-existing risk factors, such as mental health problems, will enable the identification of at-risk patients, thus aiding in the improvement of long-term healthcare for survivors of critical illness.
Resilience, Survival, and Functional Independence in Older Adults Facing Critical Illness.
Chest
December 2024
Division of Geriatrics, Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA; Geriatrics, Palliative, and Extended Care, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, San Francisco, CA.
Background: Older adults surviving critical illness often experience new or worsening functional impairments. Modifiable positive psychological constructs such as resilience may mitigate post-intensive care morbidity.
Research Question: Is pre-ICU resilience associated with: (1) post-ICU survival; (2) the drop in functional independence during the ICU stay; or (3) the trend in predicted independence before vs after the ICU stay?
Study Design And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed by using Medicare-linked Health and Retirement Study surveys from 2006 to 2018.
