Description
Summary:ICU survivors often suffer from prolonged physical and mental impairments resulting in the so called "Post-Intensive Care Syndrome" (PICS). The aftercare of former ICU patients affected by PICS in particular has not been addressed sufficiently in Germany so far. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a pragmatic randomised trial (RCT) comparing an intensive care unit (ICU) follow-up clinic intervention to usual care.
