This research study is looking at whether a simple physical assessment tool—called the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx)—can predict how well patients will walk three months after leaving the intensive care unit (ICU). The study will measure this tool when you leave the ICU, then check how far you can walk about three months later. The goal is to understand whether doctors can use this tool to predict recovery and plan better rehabilitation care for people who've been seriously ill.
Many people who spend time in the ICU with a breathing machine become very weak and take months to recover their ability to walk and move independently. Doctors need better ways to predict which patients will recover well and what kind of rehabilitation will help them most. This study aims to see if a quick assessment at ICU discharge can help guide that recovery planning.
Researchers will assess your physical strength and function using the CPAx tool before you leave the ICU. Then, about three months after you leave the hospital, you'll come to a day hospital appointment where you'll be asked to walk as far as you can in six minutes (the researchers will time and measure this). During these visits, the doctors will also collect information about your muscle strength, nutrition, and any emotional stress related to your ICU stay. The study is non-interventional, meaning you won't receive any new treatments—just assessments during your regular follow-up care.
