Summary

Survival rates of patients with critical illness have increased due to improved facilities and treatment methods in the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite surviving critical illness, patients often face a difficult road of rehabilitation after discharge from the ICU or the hospital ward. A large body of evidence indicates that critical illness survivors suffer from physical and mental health problems, reflected in a reduced health related quality of life. However, detailed studies on longer-term outcomes and physical and mental recovery are lacking. In order to develop a tailored aftercare intervention program for critical care survivors a detailed description of the specific health problems is necessary. The aim of this study is to evaluate the change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical and mental health of critical illness survivors.
