Mobile Critical Care Recovery Program for Survivors of Acute Respiratory Failure: A Randomized Clinical Trial

JAMA Netw OpenPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Findings from this randomized clinical trial indicated that a nurse-led 12-month comprehensive interdisciplinary care intervention did not significantly improve the QOL of ARF survivors after ICU hospitalization.

Study context

Population
Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) survivors admitted to ICU services of 4 Indiana hospitalsITT analysis
Participants
466 survivors
Comparison
12-month nurse-led collaborative care vs telephone-based control
  • Mobile Critical Care Recovery Program (m-CCRP)n = 233
  • Controln = 233reference
Primary endpoint
QOL by SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS), 0-100, higher = better
Follow-up

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

QOL (SF-36 PCS and MCS), change from baseline
Each group vs controlEstimate (95% CI)
m-CCRP
estimated difference in change from baseline (SF-36 PCS) 1.61(−1.06 to 4.29)
m-CCRP
estimated difference in change from baseline (SF-36 MCS) −2.50(−5.29 to 0.30)

Further findings

Mortality · 12 months · not statistically significantly lower

P = 0.05

Safety

Hospitalization · higher in m-CCRP

P = 0.04
