AbstractPatients who survive critical illness are at risk of permanent physical and functional deficits which decrease the health-related quality of life. The reasons for physical morbidity include the nature of and treatment for the inciting critical illness, new decrements in organ function and worsening of pre-existing organ dysfunction, and prolonged physical immobility and long intensive care unit stay.
