Brief summary
Data Analysis and Physical Function Evaluation Index Development for Early Diagnosis and Monitoring of ICU-acquired weakness
Detailed description
ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a prevalent complication, occurring in more than 50% of ICU patients, and has severe long-term effects on patient outcomes. This condition not only prolongs the duration of hospital stay but also persists long after discharge, continuously impacting patients' health and quality of life. Therefore, monitoring, prevention, and rehabilitation of ICU-AW should not be limited to the ICU period but should continue after transfer to general wards and after discharge. This study aims to provide foundational data for developing a platform capable of continuously monitoring and delivering rehabilitation therapy for ICU-AW from ICU admission through the post-discharge period. Recent meta-analyses have shown that providing rehabilitation for ICU patients improves physical function at discharge, reduces ICU stay by 0.8 days, and shortens total hospital stay by 1.75 days. Additionally, it increases the distance patients can walk unassisted at discharge, the number of patients capable of standing, the duration of ventilator-free days, and the percentage of patients discharged home. Understanding the recovery process of ICU-AW as a continuum from ICU to post-discharge is essential, and the necessity of continuous rehabilitation throughout this process is evident. However, the challenge lies in implementing this in real-world practice. This study seeks to provide foundational data for developing personalized educational programs applicable to remote digital therapeutics in the future.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Characteristics | Within 72 hours of ICU admission | Age,Diagnosis,CCI,Medical History,Education Level,Marital status |
| Body composition | Within 72 hours of ICU admission | Height, weight, BMI, body fat percentage, Muscle mass are measured using an InBody device |
| Nerve conduction study | Within 72 hours of ICU admission | IF Sarcopenia are met via Body Composition Assessment, nerve conduction study (NCS) is performed. NCS is conducted to evaluate peripheral nerve function and to determine the presence of peripheral neuropathy in this study. The nerve conduction study uses electrical stimulation to measure nerve conduction velocity, latency, and amplitude |
| MRC sum | Within 72 hours of ICU admission | Total Score 60, 12-group muscles, each score 0-5. The Score below 48 is diagnosed a s ICU aquired weakness. |
| Grip strength | Within 72 hours of ICU admission | To assess forearm strength, grip strength is measured using a dynamometer. Two measurements are taken on both the left and right sides, and the average value is recorded. |
| FSS-ICU | Within 72 hours of ICU admission | Functional status Score for the4 Intensive Care Unit 5 Functional movement : Rolling / Supine to Sit / Sit to Stand / Sitting on the edge of the bed, Walking Each item is scored from 0 to 7 based on the level of assistance needed, with 0 indicating complete inability and 35 indicating independent function. |
| JH-highest mobility scale | Within 72 hours of ICU admission | There are a total of 8 stages : lying in bed(1pt) Limited to activities in bed only(2 pt) Sitting up in bed (3 pt) Sitting on a chair beside the bed(4 pt) Standing(5 pt) Walking 10 steps beside the bed(6pt) Walking more than 7 meters (7pt) Walking more than 76 meters (8 pt) |
| Fitbit charge 5 | During ICU status | Activity amount assessment The Fitbit Charge 5 is a wristband device equipped with an accelerometer that detects movement across three axes. It tracks information such as step count, distance traveled, calories burned, and active minutes, recording data from the time of wear until the battery depletes. This wearable device enables lifelogging through accelerometry. The Fitbit Charge 5 will be worn continuously from ICU admission upon study enrollment through to two weeks post-ICU discharge. |
| US ( muscle thickness) | Within 72 hours of ICU admission | Muscle Thickness for a total of 6 tems in the upper and lower limbs, swallowing muscles , is measured using ultrasound examination |
