Abstract
Objective
Survivors of severe critical illness frequently develop substantial and persistent physical complications, including muscle weakness, impaired physical function, and decreased health-related quality of life. Our objective was to determine the longitudinal epidemiology of muscle weakness, physical function, and health-related quality of life and their associations with critical illness and ICU exposures.
Design
A multisite prospective study with longitudinal follow-up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after acute lung injury.
