This prospective observational study aims to describe the outcome for patients with persistent or chronic critical illness treated at Remeo, a clinic specialized for patients in need of prolonged intensive care and intensive care rehabilitation in Sweden. Patients' disease characteristics and the treatment in multidisciplinary patient centered teams for intensive care, weaning from mechanical ventilation and simultaneous rehabilitation will be described. Patients will be followed one year after discharge to document health related quality of life, physical function, frailty, mental illness and used health care resources.
