Clinical Trial Summary

It is known from extensive documentation that second victims in critical illness often are the care givers of the patients: family, friends or other persons. Although this has not been specifically studied in the very old patients, there is no reason to believe that this group will be different from other ICU patients. Even more so, in this very old age patient group there are seldom any older relatives. Partners, like wife/husband or other cohabitants, may be dead or themselves incapacitated. Many will be in institutional care. The closest care-givers will be middle-aged people such as children or others, if no partners are available. The hypothesis is that critical illness can be a large stressor to care-givers of survivors in the VIP measured as the occurrence and severity of the usual problems like PTSD and depression. The investigators hypothesize that a low-threshold on-line support program decreases the magnitude of anxiety, depression and PTSD for care-givers of very old intensive care patients (VIP) after discharge.


Clinical Trial Description

Aims of the study - Results from family/care givers experience: Degree of involvement with post-ICU care, impact on their own health (depression, PTSD, burden questionnaire) - Effect of a simple intervention: on-line support and/or telephone advice on Return to pre-ICU frailty score (patients) and Occurrence of PTSD and depression in care-givers - Information on 6 months' outcome (frailty and mortality) in very old survivors after ICU in different European countries - Information on trajectories in the time after discharge: Dead/alive, home, nursing home, new hospital admissions, living with family/other care-givers, etc. ;
