NCT ID NCT07478367

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether serious muscle weakness, known to affect ICU patients, also occurs in people hospitalized outside the ICU. Researchers will follow about 600 adults in Italian hospitals, half with organ failure and half without, to see how often weakness develops and what factors increase risk. The goal is to raise awareness and improve care for this often-overlooked condition.
