Swedish Consensus Recommendation for Follow-Up After ICU Stay

Background

A substantial proportion of intensive care unit (ICU) survivors experience long-term physical, psychological and cognitive impairments after critical illness. However, methods for identifying patients in need of post-ICU support vary widely. As a result, many patients are left without access to established rehabilitation pathways. This consensus recommendation provides a framework for the organisation and content of follow-up for adult ICU survivors in Sweden, informed by available evidence, stakeholder perspectives and expert consensus.
