Thomas S, et al. - In patients with intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired muscle weakness 1 year after discharge from rehabilitation, researchers characterized predictors for health-related quality of life, participation, physical activity and cognitive function. One hundred fifty chronic critically ill people with ICU-acquired muscle weakness were included in this cohort study. Data reported that recovery of health-related quality of life, participation, physical activity and basal cognitive function were still not complete a year following discharge from postacute treatment. Regaining walking function in rehabilitation was the best predictor for normal cognitive function 1 year after discharge.
