Summary

The present assessment tools for assessing physical function after intensive care unit (ICU) can be categorized as (1) functional tests (2) walk tests (3) strength test (4) Health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Strength tests such as Medical Research Council Scale and HRQOL (e.g. Short form-36 (SF-36) tests may require awakening and appropriate mental health. However, mental impairments were seen in a considerable number of patients (2). Walk tests such as Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) or Timed Up\&Go (TUG) can be impractical, some patients could not be able to perform these due to severe impairment. These tests require space to perform and may require management of several drips, drains, and oxygen delivery systems while the patient is walking and turning which render the test difficult to carry out. Among these three specific tools, CPAx seems to be the assessment tool that can be considered easy to use in the clinical setting due to the short time required for assessment and relatively minimal use of equipment (hand dynamometer for grip strength measurement).

This study aims to investigate validation of Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool in the assessment of the functional status of COVID patients discharged from ICU and investigate the feasibility of commonly used assessment tools for assessing physical function after ICU in COVID patients discharged from ICU.

Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool

Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool is a bedside assessment tool firstly reported in 2013 to measure physical morbidity in the critical care population, consisting of 10 items (respiratory function, cough, moving within the bed, supine to sitting on the edge of bed, dynamic sitting, standing balance, sit to stand, transferring from bed to chair, stepping, and grip strength) rated on a 6-point scale from complete dependency (level=0) to independency (level=5). Therefore, the CPAx sum score ranges from 0 (worst condition) to 50 (best functioning/independence)
