Early prediction of intensive care unit-acquired weakness using easily available parameters: a prospective observational study.

Early prediction of intensive care unit-acquired weakness using easily available parameters: a prospective observational study.

An early diagnosis of Intensive Care Unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) using muscle strength assessment is not possible in most critically ill patients. We hypothesized that development of ICU-AW can be predicted reliably two days after ICU admission, using patient characteristics, early available cli...
