The main question it aims to answer is: * What is the main rehabilitation problem during transition from ICU to hospital wards for patients who experienced ICU delirium? * Dose different phenotypes of ICU delirium shows different rehabilitation problem during ICU transition? Participants will be followed up and assessed by questionnaires after discharge from ICU to hospital wards until hospital discharge.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Physical impairmentAt first, third day and fifth day after ICU discharge, at the 1 day of hospital discharge, one-month after hospital dischargeThe Modified Barthel Index is a widely used scale for assessing a patient's level of independence in activities of daily living (ADLs). Each activity is scored based on the degree of assistance required, with total scores typically ranging from 0 (complete dependence) to 100 (complete independence).
Cognitive impairmentAt first, third day and fifth day after ICU discharge, at the 1 day of hospital discharge, one-month after hospital dischargeThe Mini-MoCA (Mini Montreal Cognitive Assessment) is a brief cognitive screening tool derived from the full MoCA, designed to rapidly assess cognitive function in clinical and hospital settings. It evaluates key domains such as orientation, attention, memory, language, and visuospatial skills, using a condensed format suitable for bedside.
Mental healthAt first, third day and fifth day after ICU discharge, at the 1 day of hospital discharge, one-month after hospital dischargeHospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS) is a 14-item tool used to screen for anxiety and depression in hospitalised patients. It includes two 7-item subscales, each scored 0-21, with higher scores indicate more severe psychological distress.
