Study Overview

Brief Summary

  • OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of structured, multidisciplinary and personalized post-ICU care versus usual care on physical and psychological functioning, and quality of life (QoL) of ICU survivors one and two years post-ICU.
  • RESEARCH QUESTION What is the clinical- and cost effectiveness of structured, personalized post-ICU care versus usual care on physical and psychological functioning, and QoL of ICU survivors?
  • HYPOTHESIS Structured, multidisciplinary, and personalized post-ICU care results in improved QoL of ICU survivors and is more cost effective compared to usual care.

Detailed Description

  • OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of structured, multidisciplinary and personalized post-ICU care versus usual care on physical and psychological functioning, and quality of life (QoL) of ICU survivors one and two years post-ICU.
  • RESEARCH QUESTION What is the clinical- and cost effectiveness of structured, personalized post-ICU care versus usual care on physical and psychological functioning, and QoL of ICU survivors?
  • HYPOTHESIS Structured, multidisciplinary, and personalized post-ICU care results in improved QoL of ICU survivors and is more cost effective compared to usual care.
  • STUDY POPULATION Adult patients at high risk of critical illness-associated morbidity post-ICU.
  • INTERVENTION Structured, personalized and multidisciplinary post-ICU care tailored to patients' health problems initiated by ICU clinicians and coordinated by GPs.
  • USUAL CARE / COMPARISON No or unstructured post-ICU care.
  • OUTCOMES Primary: QoL and mental functioning 1-year post-ICU. Secondary: physical and cognitive functioning 1- and 2-year post-ICU, cost effectiveness and cost utility.
  • FOLLOW-UP TIME One and two years post-ICU.
  • STUDY DESIGN Stepped wedge cluster RCT in 5 hospitals.
  • SAMPLE SIZE & DATA ANALYSIS 5 ICUs (11 patients/ICU/month, in total 770 intervention patients, and 1480 (active and historical) controls gives power of 87% to detect effect of 0.074 in EQ-5D (ICC 0.035; SD 0.26). Data will be analysed according to intention to treat principles, also per-protocol analyses will be performed.
  • COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS / BUDGET IMPACT ANALYSIS Comparison of 'cost per QALY' gained between patients in the intervention and control group. Decision analytical modelling will be used to calculate the average savings per patient; extrapolated to population level using a budget-holders perspective.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Individual's perception of their position in life assessed by the EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ5D) .

Time Frame: 1 year post-ICU

Quality of life (QoL) assessed by the EQ5D at 1-year post-ICU.

Mental impairments assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

Time Frame: 1 year post-ICU

Anxiety and depression (assessed by the HADS) at 1-year post-ICU.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Physical functioning measured by fatigue assessed by the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS).(1- and 2-year post-ICU)
  • Physical functioning measured by new physical complaints assessed by the number of new physical complaints.(1- and 2-year post-ICU)
  • Post traumatic stress disorder 1- and 2-year post-ICU assessed by the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R).(1- and 2-year post-ICU)
  • Cost effectiveness measured by cost per Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY)(1- and 2-year post-ICU)
  • Physical functioning measured by frailty assessed by the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS).(1- and 2-year post-ICU)
  • Cognitive functioning 1- and 2-year post-ICU assessed by the 14-item Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ14).(1- and 2-year post-ICU)
  • Social economic consequences measured by the novel question set designed by Griffiths et al.(1- and 2-year post-ICU)
