Risk Factors of ICU-acquired Weakness

Overview

We conducted a retrospective study of critical ill patients who used ECMO during their ICU stay. ICU-AW was diagnosed at the time when patients discharged and had a Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score < 48 out of a maximal score of 60. We divided patients to ICU-acquired weakness group and no ICU-acquired weakness group and compared their clinical characteristics. Baseline characteristics and therapy details were collected from the case report forms and inspection reports. Univariable analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze clinical characteristics of individuals and to find risk factors of ICU-AW.

Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Other
  • Study Primary Completion Date: March 1, 2020

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • ICU-acquired weakness group
    • Patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support who had a Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score < 48 out of a maximal score of 60 when discharged.
  • no ICU-acquired weakness group
    • Patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support who had a Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score ≥ 48 out of a maximal score of 60 when discharged.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Differences between ICU-acquired weakness in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support
    • Time Frame: 1 day
    • We compared the clinical characteristics between ICU-acquired weakness group and no ICU-acquired weakness group by univariate analysis . Then we used logistic regression analysis and found out differences of ICU-acquired weakness.

Secondary Measures

  • Frequency of ICU-acquired weakness in in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support
    • Time Frame: 1 day
    • We calculated the prevalence of ICU-acquired weakness on the patients included in our research.
