Hospital re-admission after critical care survival: a systematic review and meta-analysis

J. McPeake, M. Bateson, F. Christie, C. Robinson, P. Cannon, M. Mikkelsen, T. J. Iwashyna, A. H. Leyland, M. Shaw, T. Quasim

Summary: Hospital re-admission is common in survivors of critical illness, with risk factors including comorbidities, events during initial hospitalization, and subsequent infections. Careful management during transitions of care may help reduce healthcare utilization. Future research should explore interventions to reduce rehospitalization risk in at-risk critical care survivors.

Prevalence, characteristics, and longer-term outcomes of patients with persistent critical illness attributable to COVID-19 in Scotland: a national cohort study

Michael C. Blayney, Neil Stewart, Callum T. Kaye, Kathryn Puxty, Robert Chan Seem, Lorraine Donaldson, Catriona Haddow, Ros Hall, Caroline Martin, Martin Paton, Nazir Lone, Joanne McPeake

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and long-term outcomes of persistent critical illness in patients with COVID-19. The results showed that almost half of the COVID-19 patients admitted to critical care developed persistent critical illness, utilizing a significant amount of critical care resources. However, persistent critical illness was not associated with significantly worse long-term outcomes compared to patients with shorter illness duration.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of a comprehensive healthcare and social care intervention for critical care survivors. The results showed significant improvements in health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and symptoms of depression and anxiety among patients who received the intervention. Key facilitators for implementation include integration with inpatient care and organizational engagement.

Healthcare delivery and recovery after critical illness

Aluko A. Hope, Joanne McPeake

Summary: This review summarizes improvements and innovations in healthcare delivery for adult survivors of critical illness and their families, aiming to enhance the recovery experience. Recent findings highlight the vulnerability of survivors during care transitions and medication management errors during the recovery period. Specific interventions and integration of health and social care have shown positive effects on rehospitalization, mortality, health-related quality of life, and self-efficacy. Peer support programs have the potential to benefit survivors by providing a mechanism for sharing experiences, supporting other patients, and setting realistic recovery expectations. Future research should focus on exploring safety outcomes and testing implementation strategies for improving recovery after critical illness.

The impact of intestinal stoma formation on patient quality of life after emergency surgery-A systematic review

Scott MacDonald, Li-Siang Wong, Rachel John-Charles, Tracey McKee, Tara Quasim, Susan Moug

Summary: Emergency stoma formation has a negative impact on patient quality of life, specifically on body image, confidence, and social functioning. This systematic review aims to analyze the available literature and patient-reported outcome measures to evaluate the impact on quality of life. The findings suggest that emergency stoma surgery leads to slightly poorer quality of life compared to similar procedures without stoma formation.

Acquisition of new medical devices among the persistently critically ill: A retrospective cohort study in the Veterans Affairs

Elizabeth M. Viglianti, Erin F. Carlton, Joanne McPeake, Xiao Qing Wang, Sarah Seelye, Theodore J. Iwashyna

Summary: The epidemiology and short-term outcomes of patients with persistent critical illness who acquire a new medical device are unknown. This study retrospectively analyzed a cohort of patients admitted to VA ICUs from 2014 to 2019 and found that less than one-third of patients with persistent critical illness acquired a new medical device, and there was no significant difference in short-term outcomes between those who acquired a device and those who did not. Future research is needed to understand the impact of new medical devices on the development of persistent critical illness.

Long term outcomes following critical care hospital admission: A prospective cohort study of UK biobank participants

Joanne McPeake, Theodore J. Iwashyna, Philip Henderson, Alastair H. Leyland, Daniel Mackay, Tara Quasim, Matthew Walters, Michael Harhay, Martin Shaw

Summary: This study analyzed data from 1,618 patients to understand the impact of a critical care admission on long-term outcomes. Patients exposed to critical care were more likely to experience mental health issues such as depression and social problems such as social isolation and the need for government funded welfare support following discharge. Social and emotional health were closely correlated in the critical care cohort, while the nature of physical problems changed over time.
