- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Construct validity: We expect a high correlation of the CPAx (Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool) with the prevalence of a ICUAW (Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness). Consequently, we test the hypothesis, that the CPAx correlates with the diagnostic tool for ICUAW: the Medical Research Council sum score.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 2. inter-rater reliability of the CPAx (Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool) (min. n=20, randomised, patients will be assessed by two to three raters at the bedside (blinded assessors)<br>3. internal consistency of each CPAx (Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool) item (Cronbachs alpha)<br>4. prognostic validity for a positive outcome, defined as a return to home 90 days after critical care discharge<br>5. responsivity (ceiling and floor effects, minimal clinical important difference)
