Data Analysis and Physical Function Evaluation Index Development for Early Diagnosis and Monitoring of ICU-acquired weakness
Full description
ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a prevalent complication, occurring in more than 50% of ICU patients, and has severe long-term effects on patient outcomes. This condition not only prolongs the duration of hospital stay but also persists long after discharge, continuously impacting patients' health and quality of life. Therefore, monitoring, prevention, and rehabilitation of ICU-AW should not be limited to the ICU period but should continue after transfer to general wards and after discharge. This study aims to provide foundational data for developing a platform capable of continuously monitoring and delivering rehabilitation therapy for ICU-AW from ICU admission through the post-discharge period.
Recent meta-analyses have shown that providing rehabilitation for ICU patients improves physical function at discharge, reduces ICU stay by 0.8 days, and shortens total hospital stay by 1.75 days. Additionally, it increases the distance patients can walk unassisted at discharge, the number of patients capable of standing, the duration of ventilator-free days, and the percentage of patients discharged home. Understanding the recovery process of ICU-AW as a continuum from ICU to post-discharge is essential, and the necessity of continuous rehabilitation throughout this process is evident. However, the challenge lies in implementing this in real-world practice.
This study seeks to provide foundational data for developing personalized educational programs applicable to remote digital therapeutics in the future.
