Crit Care Med: Occurrence and risk factors for chronic pain after critical illness

No researchers have systematically evaluated the occurrence, risk factors and its effects on daily life after severe diseaseA recent study in critical care medicine, published in critical care medicine, was conducted in the ICU, a tertiary hospital in the Netherlands, and researchers surveyed patients discharged from the ICU between 2013 and 2016the three queues of the study are defined as follows: 1) ICU survivors; 2) survivors of a year of new chronic pain, and 3) survivors of chronic pain within 50 kilometers of the research hospitalIn Queue 1, the researchers estimated the prevalence of new chronic pain a year after the ICU was discharged from hospital and established their predictive model, which included three outcomes: death during follow-up, survivors withno new pain, and survivors of new painIn Queue 2, the researchers identified theclinicalcharacteristics of pain and its effect on daily lifeIn Queue 3, the researchers assessed the neuropathological characteristics of painthe three queues contained 1842, 160 and 42 patients, respectivelyIn the 1 year survivors (n-1368), the estimated incidence of new chronic pain was 17.7% (95% CI was 15.8-19.8%; n s 242)In the week prior to the survey response, the median pain intensity on the digital scoring scale was 4 (quart spacing 2-6), with the most significant effect on daily life, social activities, and activity50% (95% CI 37-68%) of the subjects had neuropathic pain characteristicsOf the nine predictors included in multiple models, only the number of days of excessive inflammation in women and icU were associated with painit can be seen that new chronic pain is a common outcome in patients with severe illness, which has a great impact on the daily life of patients
