Abstrakt: The article discusses research which investigated functional dependency in long-stay intensive care unit (ICU) patients that have been transferred to a nursing-home rehabilitation unit (NRU). Topics explored include the quality of life-related challenges faced by post-ICU patients, the ICU length of stay (LOS) of patients involved in the study, and a comparison between the illness severity rate in patients that have been directly and indirectly transferred to an NRU.
