About this study
Every year, millions of Americans are admitted to the intensive care unit. Due to advances in critical care, mortality rates are decreasing, increasing the number of ICU survivors. Survivors of critical illness, however, often face physical, functional, and cognitive deficits that place them at risk for a cycle of re-hospitalization that frequently culminates in premature death. Moreover, post-ICU interventions may be resource-intensive and may be most cost-effective only in a subgroup of patients at highest risk. Whether a multi-disciplinary program to facilitate recovery from critical illness can prevent hospital readmission and improve quality of life among high-risk ICU survivors remains unknown. The primary aim of this pilot is to examine the feasibility of implementing a multidisciplinary ICU Recovery Program and the influence of such a program on process measures including contact with the ICU recovery team and attendance of ICU recovery clinic. The secondary aims are to compare the effect of an ICU Recovery Program on 30-day same-hospital readmission and other clinical outcomes.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| VANDERBILT ICU RECOVERY PROGRAM (VIP) | Experimental | Patients assigned to the Vanderbilt ICU Recovery Program (VIP) group will receive the components of the ICU Recovery Program intervention. Receives: Other: VANDERBILT ICU RECOVERY PROGRAM |
| Usual care | No intervention | Patients in the usual care group will receive care as dictated by their clinical team. In usual care in the study institution, patients frequently receive medication reconciliation by and ICU pharmacist at the time of transfer out of the ICU to the hospital ward, medication reconciliation by a physician at the time of hospital discharge, and follow up with their primary care physician within two weeks of hospital discharge. Usual care does not currently include an in-person assessment of the patient's cognitive and functional status or anticipated post-ICU needs by a nurse practitioner between ICU transfer and hospital discharge, access to a 24/7 contact line after hospital discharge, or assessment in a multi-disciplinary ICU Recovery Clinic. |
What is being measured

Measured: From the time of study enrollment to 30 days after hospital discharge
Secondary outcomes (4)
Number of Participants With Same-hospital Readmission in the 30 Days After Hospital Discharge
Readmission to the study hospital in the 30 days after hospital discharge
Measured: Within 30 days of hospital discharge
Number of Participants Death or Readmission in the 30 Days After Hospital Discharge
Composite outcome of death or readmission in the 30 days after hospital discharge
Measured: Within 30 days of hospital discharge

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Components of the ICU Recovery Program Received (time frame: From the time of study enrollment to 30 days after hospital discharge). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Oct 2019.
