NCT ID NCT07225257
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 150 older adults who survived a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for sepsis or lung injury. Researchers will measure muscle strength and physical function at hospital discharge and again at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months later. A small group will also have muscle biopsies to examine changes at the cellular level. The goal is to better understand the recovery process after critical illness.
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 reveal patterns of recovery after critical illness, guiding future rehabilitation strategies for older adults.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not testing a treatment, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients due to the small sample size.
