Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients who have been admitted to the medical intensive care unit for critical conditions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients admitted for simple procedures or those requiring only postoperative care observation may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study involves creating a prospective registry of patients who are admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) at Seoul National University Hospital. The study aims to follow these patients for up to five years after their discharge to gather data on their recovery and long-term outcomes. By tracking various health metrics and experiences, the study seeks to better understand post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and its effects on patients. The methodology focuses on comprehensive data collection and patient follow-up to inform future critical care practices.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effects of critical care on patients, potentially improving post-discharge care and outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in understanding post-intensive care syndrome through similar registry approaches, indicating the potential for meaningful findings.
