Intensive care unit (ICU) acquired weakness is a common complication associated with long-term physical impairments in survivors of a critical illness. The Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool (CPAx) is a valid and reliable instrument for physical function and activity in critically ill patients at risk for muscle weakness. However, its ability to measure change over time (responsiveness) and the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) have not yet been rigorously investigated. This multi-centre, mixed-methods, longitudinal cohort study therefore aims to establish responsiveness and the MCID of the CPAx in the target population from ICU baseline to ICU and hospital discharge. The study uses routine data from standard physiotherapy sessions like mobility, function and activity with no additional burden for critically ill adults. The investigators expect the CPAx to be responsive allowing its use as a primary outcome in future effectiveness trials for the treatment of ICU-acquired weakness using the newly established MCID for sample size calculation. A high quality, rigorously tested measurement tool for physical function and activity in the ICU should benefit researchers, clinicians and patients.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool (CPAx) change score | CPAx change score for ICU period (ICU baseline to ICU discharge); CPAx ranges from 0 (worst score) to 50 (best score) | Assessed at ICU discharge (within 24 hours before or after ICU discharge) | |
Secondary | CPAx change score | CPAx change score for hospital period (ICU to hospital discharge); CPAx ranges from 0 (worst score) to 50 (best score) | Assessed at hospital discharge (last value before discharge) | |
Secondary | Global rating of change scale | Seven-point global rating of change scale (GRC): (1) very much improved; (2) much improved; (3) little improved; (4) no change; (5) little deterioration; (6) much deterioration; (7) very much deterioration for 'physical function and activity' (rated by treating physiotherapist) | ICU and hospital discharge (change for ICU and hospital period) | |
Secondary | ICU Mobility Scale | To evaluate mobility level, the score ranges from 0 (worst) to 10 (best) | ICU baseline (within 72-144h after ICU admission), ICU and hospital discharge | |
Secondary | Medical Research Council Sum Score | To assess muscle strength, the minimal score is 0 (worst), the maximal score 60 (best), ICUAW is defined as <48 points | ICU baseline (within 72-144h after ICU admission), ICU and hospital discharge | |
Secondary | Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale | To assess the level of sedation and/or cooperation, score ranges from -5 (unarousable) to +4 (combative) | ICU baseline (within 72-144h after ICU admission), ICU and hospital discharge | |
Secondary | Modified Iowa Level of Assistance Scale | To determine assistance in functional tasks, the score ranges from 0 (worst) to 36 (best) | ICU baseline (within 72-144h after ICU admission), ICU and hospital discharge | |
Secondary | ICU and discharge destinations | Categorical variable (death, external/internal hospital ward, external ICU/hospital, rehabilitation, home, other) to assess the predictive validity of the CPAx score | ICU and hospital discharge |
