First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 350 older adults (65+) who return home after an ICU stay to see what help they still need with daily activities. Researchers will track disabilities, hospital readmissions, and deaths over six months. The goal is to identify gaps in care so better programs can be designed to help seniors recover fully.
