ICU sedation, delirium & recovery
Frailty and health‐related life quality in long‐term follow up of intensive care patients above 65 years old: Protocol for a Norwegian prospective, observational multicenter study
Authors' conclusion
The study will assess the feasibility and measurement properties of the Clinical Frailty Scale and EQ-5D-5L in ICU survivors by telephone at long-term follow-up study and will give additional information on the frailty and HRQoL of intensive care survivors.
Study context
- Population
- Patients aged ≥65 years requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥24 h in five Norwegian ICUsplanned 350 patients
- Outcome
- Frailty (Clinical Frailty Scale) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (EQ-5D-5L) before ICU admission compared with outcomes at follow-up
- Follow-up
- 3 and 12 months
Methodological detailsmulticentre, ongoing, Clinical Frailty Scale and EQ-5D-5L administered at baseline (before critical illness) and at 3 and 12 months post-inclusion, EQ-5D-5L to be compared with Norwegian population norms and assessed for measurement properties
