Summary

Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), which consists of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial problems, is a pervasive complication for older intensive care unit (ICU) survivors and contributes to detrimental health outcomes and significant reductions in quality of life. Yet, little is known about the relationship between PICS, swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), and other ICU-related negative outcomes such as frailty and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). The primary purpose of this research study is to determine the prevalence and severity of dysphagia, risk factors for dysphagia development, recovery patterns of dysphagia over time, and the impact of dysphagia on health outcomes, quality of life, and care partner burden in adult ICU survivors with PICS.
