A Population-Based Observation Study of Intensive Care Unit-Related Outcomes
Type of Library Material:
Medical Journal
Brief description of media:
Post-hospital medical resource use among ICU
survivors is substantial, although similar to that after non-ICU
hospitalization. Although the fraction of survivors unable to
live independently was small, a larger fraction required home
care services. Identifying post-hospital supports needed by ICU
survivors can be useful for policy makers and others responsible
for healthcare planning.
