This research study follows people who were critically ill with COVID-19 or acute respiratory infections and spent time in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand whether frailty — a condition of weakness and reduced function — affects survival rates and long-term recovery outcomes. They will also study what kinds of rehabilitation and therapy help patients regain strength and improve their quality of life after leaving the hospital.
The COVID-19 pandemic has left many survivors dealing with lasting weakness and health problems. Doctors still don't fully understand how frailty affects recovery in both adults and children after critical respiratory illness, or what rehabilitation approaches work best. This study aims to fill those knowledge gaps so future patients can receive better care and support.

If you join this study, researchers will collect information about your health before, during, and after your critical illness. They will look at medical records, assess your strength and ability to function, and track what kind of rehabilitation or therapy you received. The study gathers this information from patients admitted to participating hospitals — you would not need to attend separate study visits beyond your regular medical care.
