Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Since this study is already completed and it was measuring how often Post Intensive Care Syndrome occurs at 3 months after ICU discharge, is there published data from this trial I could review, and what do the findings mean for my own risk of developing PICS?
2This trial focused on identifying risk factors for PICS — based on those findings, do I have any of the specific risk factors they identified that might make me more likely to experience problems with memory, mental health, or physical function after an ICU stay?
3Since this was an observational study rather than a treatment trial, it wouldn't have offered me a new therapy — so what does the research from studies like this one tell you about how we should be actively monitoring or planning for PICS in my situation?
4Given that this study tracked patients at the 3-month mark after intensive care, should I have a structured follow-up appointment around that time to screen for the cognitive, psychological, or physical issues that PICS can involve?
5Are there any preventive strategies or early interventions that my care team would recommend based on what studies like this one have learned about who is most at risk for Post Intensive Care Syndrome?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
