Co-occurrence of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Problems Among 406 Survivors of Critical Illness
Type of Library Material:
Medical Journal
Brief description of media:
In this multicenter cohort study, one or more PICS problems were present in the
majority of survivors, but co-occurring problems were present in only 1 out of 4. Education was protective from PICS and frailty predictive of the development of PICS. Future studies are needed to understand better the heterogeneous subtypes of PICS and to identify modifiable risk factors.
