Brief Summary
BACKGROUND. Staying in an intensive care unit can lead to physical and cognitive complications and post-traumatic stress. Currently, the aim is to find out the level of quality of life, functional capacity and cognitive status post intensive care unit. Describe the evolution of the quality of life, functional capacity and cognitive status of a cohort of patients admitted to the ward room after discharge from the intensive care unit, with subsequent follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months of his discharge.
METHODS. Prospective, observational, analytical cohort study. Subjects over 18 years of age with at least 48 hours of confinement in a closed area were included. Demographic variables, quality of life, functional capacity and cognitive status were recorded. A telephone follow-up was carried out three, six and twelve months after institutional discharge. For the evaluation of the primary variables, Euroqol 5d-5L (Eq5d - Eq5d-VAS), Barthel Index and Fototest were used.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Quality of life
Time Frame: 2019 - 2020
It is the perception that an individual has of his place in existence, in the context of the culture and the value system in which he lives. This aspect was evaluated using the EuroQol Group EQ-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L) tool.
Functional capacity
Time Frame: 2019 - 2020
Functional capacity refers to the capability of performing tasks and activities that people find necessary or desirable in their lives. It was assessed using the Barthel Index (IB) tool.
Cognitive status
Time Frame: 2019 - 2020
