Healthcare resource utilisation and long term outcomes following critical illness

Patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) are the sickest patients in hospital but little is known about what happens to these patients after they are discharged. This project will evaluate long-term outcomes such as disability, quality of life, anxiety and depression after ICU, along with ongoing healthcare use (including readmission to hospital). It will also conduct health economic analyses to determine which interventions provide the greatest value for money.
