Brief Summary
Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) refers to long-term cognitive, physical, and psychological impairments that can arise after intensive care treatment. These symptoms may begin within 24 hours of ICU admission and persist for years. Affected patients and their families (PICS-F) face significant burdens, with up to 94% of relatives impacted. Given its high prevalence and socioeconomic impact, this prospective regist...Show More
Detailed Description
BACKGROUND Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) refers to newly occurring or intensified cognitive, physical, and psychological long-term effects, as well as pain and socioeconomic effects resulting from intensive care treatment. Symptoms can appear as early as 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and persist for 5-15 years after discharge. The rate of affected individuals is very high. Three mont...Show More
