Our study includes people aged 65 and over who have been hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We would like to understand more about how older adults recover after being in the ICU. If you join the study, you will: answer a few questions while you’re still in the hospital; complete 1 home visit, which includes questions about your health, activities, and brief tests of vision, hearing, grip strength, and walking; and complete 6 monthly phone calls where you will be asked about your health, recovery, and activities.

Trial Purpose and Description
This is a prospective longitudinal study that will ascertain the unmet needs of older adults (65 and older) who return home (either directly or after short-term rehab) after an ICU hospitalization, evaluate the association of these unmet needs with clinically relevant outcomes, and assess barriers and facilitators to addressing these unmet needs. The proposed research will inform the development and evaluation of a subsequent intervention to improve functional outcomes among older ICU survivors, in alignment with the NIHs mission to reduce disability.
Eligibility Criteria
This study is only available to patients aged 65+ who survived an ICU admission of 2+ days and are still hospitalized at one of four YNHH hospital campuses:
- York Street Campus
- St. Raphael’s Campus
- Bridgeport Hospital
- Bridgeport Hospital - Milford Campus
