Official title:

Study type | Observational |
The primary aim of the study is to evaluate consequences of frailty in critically ill
patients. We hypothesize that a higher frailty index (based on published questionnaires)
predicts a longer surgical intensive care unit and hospital length of stay, less
ventilator-free days and a higher likelihood of an adverse discharge disposition.
Our secondary aim is to identify muscle-size derived variables that can be used to predict
frailty. We hypothesize that a low skeletal muscle mass measured by ultrasound can be used to
quantify frailty, and to also predict the outcome of SICU patients, expressed as longer stay
in the surgical intensive care unit and longer stay in the hospital, less ventilator-free
days and a higher likelihood of an adverse discharge disposition.
Our third aim is to examine potential triggers of muscle wasting in critically ill patients.
Muscle wasting will be assessed by repetitive ultrasound measurements of muscle mass. We
hypothesize that a significant decrease in skeletal muscle mass predicts longer stay at the
surgical intensive care unit and longer hospital length of stay, less ventilator-free days
and adverse discharge disposition.
