What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tracks 800 ICU survivors across multiple hospitals in China to measure ongoing physical, mental, and thinking problems—known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). Researchers will assess muscle strength, mobility, memory, mood, sleep, and pain using standard tests. The goal is to gather real-world data to improve care for patients after they leave the ICU.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could provide a clearer picture of the long-term challenges ICU survivors face, helping doctors design better follow-up care and rehabilitation programs.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. Results may vary across different hospitals and regions, and the findings might not apply to all ICU survivors.

Who is studied

This study is a multi-center, retrospective, observational cohort study that will enroll patients from four participating high-dependency units (HDUs) across China. Patients transferred from general hospital ICUs to the participating HDUs between January 2018 and January 2026 will be screened. Data will be sourced from medical records, nursing records, rehabilitation assessment records, and follow-up documentation from routine clinical care. The anticipated total sample size is 800 participants.
