Mental health-related quality of life is related to delirium in intensive care patients

Purpose Delirium during intensive care unit (ICU) stay may be related to premorbid mental illness. In addition, delirium during ICU stay may also negatively affect long-term health-related quality of life. The aim of our study was to investigate if delirium in the ICU is related to premorbid mental quality of life and affects long-term mental quality of life after ICU stay. Methods We performed a prospective cohort study in 1021 patients admitted for longer than 48 h in a medical-surgical ICU. We evaluated mental and physical quality of life using the Short-form-12 before ICU admission, at hospital discharge, and 3, 6 and 12 months after hospital discharge. Mixed model and logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. Results Patients who experienced a delirium during ICU stay reported a worse pre-admission mental quality of life than those without delirium (p < 0.001). Furthermore, patients who suffered from delirium during their ICU stay exhibited a significant decrease in mental quality of life over time relative to patients without delirium (p = 0.035). Conclusion In this large follow-up study, we demonstrated that ICU survivors who experienced a delirium during ICU stay reported a significantly worse pre-admission mental health-related quality of life and a significant decrease in mental health-related quality of life in the year after hospital discharge compared with patients without delirium..
