Clinical Trial Summary

Survival following a critical illness continues to improve with ongoing developments in medical management, however evidence shows that this patient group is at a high risk of suffering long term disability. The objectives are to determine if there is a link between the amount of exercise performed in intensive care on the presence of delirium, long term cognition and disability whilst ensuring that patient reported outcomes correlate with actual measured results, and to obtain information on recovery from patients and/or relatives to determine themes.


Clinical Trial Description

Survival from a critical illness is increasing, however the long term effect on patient's quality of life and the ability for patients to return to pre-illness function is unfavourable. Exercise in the ICU has been proven to be safe and effective, with decreases in length of stay and improvements in physical and psychosocial function seen in multiple studies. At present, the investigators are unsure on the most effective way to exercise this patient group in relation to duration, type, intensity and frequency. The investigators aim to link the presence of delirium during an ICU admission, disability-free survival and quality of life obtained from telephone follow-up six months following ICU discharge with the amount of exercise performed during their ICU stay to determine a relationship. Additionally, in a small group of participants, the investigators will measure cognitive and physical function to ensure that the patient reported data accurately reflects their true functional level, while allowing patients and/or relatives, next of kin or carers to provide information regarding their recovery through an interview process. The measure of physical function and disability (via the WHODAS and Euro Qol Group Health Survey (EQ5D)) obtained during telephone interview of the 500 patients enrolled in the PREDICT study will be correlated with the amount of exercise they performed whilst in Intensive Care obtained from the medical records. The presence of delirium will also be obtained from the medical records and linked with the amount of exercise performed to determine if a link is present. A sub-set of this population (40) will be invited at the 3-month follow up phone call of the PREDICT study to have a physiotherapist visit them to assess their cognitive and physical function and interview them and/or their relatives, next of kin or carer to determine themes of the recovery process following critical illness. ;
