Abstract

The physical and psychological consequences of critical illness may affect intensive care unit survivors for up to five years, and hence, health-related quality of life has emerged as an important measure of outcome in this population. We aimed at investigating the quality of life, the presence of anxiety and depression symptoms, and the correlations of clinical and psychological parameters with the quality of life scores in survivors of critical illness one year after discharge from intensive care. Widely used scales that have been validated for the Greek population were used. One thousand two hundred and seventy (1270) patients were assessed for eligibility. Inclusion criteria were age between 18 and 68 years and the presence of critical illness requiring endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation for more than three days. One hundred and four (104) patients were included in the final analysis; forty-nine age and sex-matched healthy volunteers were included for comparison.
