About
This is an observational cohort study of the association between patient expectations for functional recovery and quality of life among acute respiratory failure survivors 6 months after hospital discharge.
Full description
This study will enroll adults who are diagnosed with acute respiratory failure during an ICU admission and discharged from the ICU alive. All participants will receive usual clinical care. Participant expectations for functional recovery will be assessed before hospital discharge via a standardized questionnaire containing a visual analogue scale and questions about expected ability and importance of being able to perform activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living in 6 months. At 6 months, participants will be re-contacted by phone. Study staff will administer questionnaires to assess whether patient expectations have been met. Quality of life will be assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF and the EQ-5D-VAS.
