Critical care medicine has long focused on improving short-term mortality. Critically ill patients have however increasingly been recognized to have altered longer term outcomes. With this collection, Annals of Intensive Care invites authors to submit reviews and research articles discussing and evaluating long-term outcomes after critical illness and an intensive care unit stay and strategies to mitigate the consequences of critical illness. These outcomes include, but are not restricted to, mortality, cardiovascular consequences, kidney disease, neuropsychological consequences and social and financial burdens of recovery from critical illness of the patients and their relatives.
There are currently no articles in this collection.
Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you have read our submission guidelines. Articles for this Collection should be submitted via the submission system. During the submission process you will be asked whether you are submitting to a Collection, please select "Long-term outcomes after critical illness" from the dropdown menu.
