Overview
After a prolonged stay in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), fatigue is the most common symptom reported by patients in the Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). Other complications have been described, including ICU-acquired weakness, leading to increased morbidity and mortality after discharge. Actually, risk factors associated with post-ICU fatigue self-reported are not really known.
Description
Frailty, defined as a decrease in physiological reserves leading to an alteration in the mechanisms of adaptation to stress, increases the incidence of PICS and could therefore be a cause of post-ICU fatigue self-reported.
The aim of this study is to identify a relationship between markers of frailty, ICU-AW, ICU story and the post-ICU fatigue self-reported 6 months discharge in patients with prolonged ICU stays.
Eligibility
