NCT ID NCT06697236
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a person's financial and social situation affects their recovery after a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers will follow 180 patients who had severe breathing problems or shock, checking for physical, mental, and thinking problems known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). The goal is to understand how factors like income and education impact long-term recovery and quality of life.
