Description
Jonathan Stewart and eight co-authors ask whether survivors of critical illness need new care models in a 2023 review. Many survivors carry two or more long term conditions at once. Past recovery programs focused on single harms like weak muscles or low mood. Most of those programs failed to show gains in trials.
The authors argue that prior health shapes recovery more than the crisis itself. One subgroup of survivors uses heavy care long after discharge. Their path was set well before the illness struck. Number, severity, and treatability of conditions all feed into outcomes. Treatment burden and social support matter as well. The review calls for care plans built around each person's full health picture.
