ICU sedation, delirium & recovery
Burden of and risk factors for neurological complications in critical illness
Study context
- Population
- Critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract

- Variability in definitions, surveillance practices and outcome measures limits precise estimation of the true burden and may contribute to underrecognition
