Association Between Restricting Symptoms and Disability After Critical Illness Among Older Adults.
Older adults who survive critical illness are at risk for increased disability, limiting their independence and quality of life. We sought to evaluate whether the occurrence of symptoms that restrict activity, that is, restricting symptoms, is associated with increased disability following an ICU hospitalization. ⋯ In this longitudinal cohort of community-living older adults, symptoms restricting activity were independently associated with increased disability after ICU hospitalization. These findings suggest that management of restricting symptoms may enhance functional recovery among older ICU survivors.
