Abstract: For decades, most critical care patients have survived hospitalisation, supporting increased attention on the long-term critical illness recovery. The term ’Post-Intensive Care Syndrome’ was coined in 2012 to raise awareness of long-term impairment in physical, cognitive and/or mental health after critical illness. However, the incidence of these impairments has persisted over the past decade, reaching as high as 60% and remains a major public health problem.
