| Post ICU | – | Patient experience |
Hospital mortality Predicted hospital mortality Relative risk mortality rate One year mortality Hospital length of stay Acuity-adjusted length of stay Weighted mean reduction in length of hospital stay Post ICU quality of life Psychological outcomes post ICU Patient satisfaction |
