ICU sedation, delirium & recovery
Subjective Ratings of Mental and Physical Health Correlate With EQ-5D-5L Index Values in Survivors of Critical Illness: A Construct Validity Study*
Authors' conclusion
Asking patients to rate their subjective mental and physical health can be an easily applicable tool for a first impression of the HrQoL in primary care settings.
Study context
- Population
- Adult ICU survivors (expected ICU LOS ≥24 hours, statutory health insurance) from 10 ICU clusters in Berlin, Germany
- Participants
- 850 ICU survivors
- Comparison
- Subjective mental and physical health ratings (0–10) vs EQ-5D VAS as predictors of EQ-5D-5L index value
