Functional dependence following intensive care unit-treated sepsis: three-year follow-up results from the prospective Mid-German Sepsis Cohort (MSC)
Background
Surviving sepsis can lead to chronic physical, psychological and cognitive impairments, which affect millions of patients worldwide, including survivors after COVID-19 viral sepsis. We aimed to characterize the magnitude and trajectory of functional dependence and new impairments post-sepsis.
Methods
We conducted a prospective cohort study including sepsis survivors who had been discharged from five German intensive care units (ICUs), until 36 months post-discharge. Primary outcome was functional dependence, defined as ≥1 impaired activity of daily living (ADL; 10-item ADL score <100), self-reported nursing care dependence or nursing care level. Secondary outcome was post-sepsis morbidity in the physical, psychological or cognitive domain. We used a multistate, competing risk model to address competing events in the course of dependence, and conducted multiple linear regression analyses to identify predictors associated with the ADL score.
Findings
Of 3210 sepsis patients screened, 1968 survived the ICU treatment (61.3%). A total of 753 were included in the follow-up assessments of the Mid-German Sepsis cohort. Patients had a median age of 65 (Q1–Q3 56–74) years, 64.8% (488/753) were male and 76.1% (573/753) had a septic shock. Considering competing risk modelling, the probability of still being functional dependent was about 25%, while about 30% regained functional independence and 45% died within the three years post-sepsis. Patients reported a high burden of new and often overlapping impairments until three years post-sepsis. In the subgroup of three-year survivors (n = 330), new physical impairments affected 91.2% (n = 301) while new cognitive and psychological impairments were reported by 57.9% (n = 191) and 40.9% (n = 135), respectively. Patients with pre-existing functional limitations and higher age were at risk for low ADL scores three years after sepsis.
Interpretation
Sepsis survivorship was associated with a broad range of new impairments and led to functional dependence in around one quarter of patients. Targeted measures are needed to mitigate the burden of this Post-Sepsis-Syndrome and increase the proportion of patients that achieve functional improvements.
