Psychological Impact of COVID-19 on Intensive Care Survivors

United Kingdom1,620 participantsStarted 2020-11-17

Plain-language summary

Psychological distress is commonly experienced by survivors of an intensive care admission, including patients treated during previous pandemics. Whilst data emerges about the short-term impact of COVID-19 on patients and healthcare systems, the long term impact remains unclear. The purpose of this trainee-led, multi-centre longitudinal study is to assess the short- and long-term psychological impact on patients who have survived an admission to intensive care due to COVID-19, and identify possible predictors of anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms in this patient group.
