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.
