Due to advances in critical care medicine, more patients survive their critical illness. However, intensive care unit (ICU) survivors often experience long-term physical, cognitive and mental problems, summarized as post intensive care syndrome (PICS), impacting their health related quality of life (HRQoL).
The aims of this study are to study the: 1) long-term outcomes, 2) predictors for PICS, 3) prediction of long-term HRQoL, 4) ratio between HRQoL of ICU-survivors and healthcare related costs, and 5) effects on the long-term of interventions
