Summary

This pilot study will study the impact of critical illness and ICU processes of care on the trajectory and development of frailty. It is hypothesize that frailty in survivors of critical illness will be measurable at hospital discharge, will correlate with processes of care while in ICU and will better discriminate long term outcomes when compared to severity of illness or the degree of frailty present on ICU admission. This pilot study will be conducted in a tertiary medical surgical ICU at Kingston General Hospital- Kingston, Ontario. It will inform the feasibility, timelines and sample size for the multi-center study and will allow for the refinement of study procedures and data collection methods. This study will be published separately as a stand-alone pilot.
