Effects of a Combined Lifestyle Intervention on Recovery of ICU Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the effects of a combined lifestyle intervention, including exercise and dietary support, on perceived physical functioning (PF) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in ICU survivors. The study found that participants in the intervention group experienced a significant improvement in PF scores and increased protein intake compared to the control group, suggesting that such interventions may benefit recovery in this population.
