Effectiveness of a Structured Multidimensional Tele-rehabilitation Intervention in Cardiac Patients With Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (CARDIO-PICS) (CARDIO-PICS)
Effectiveness of a Structured Multidimensional Tele-rehabilitation Intervention in Cardiac Patients With Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (CARDIO-PICS): Impact on Mortality, Rehospitalization, and Clinical-functional Outcomes.
This two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of an additional telerehabilitation program compared with standard care in patients with Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). The post-rehabilitation phase is crucial for consolidating recovery and ensuring continuity of care, with telerehabilitation offering a promising tool to enhance long-term adherence and outcomes.
The primary objective is to evaluate whether a structured, multidisciplinary remote rehabilitation program can reduce the risk of rehospitalization and mortality while improving clinical, functional, and psychosocial recovery. Approximately 326 patients aged 30-75 years will be enrolled after inpatient rehabilitation and randomly assigned to either a four-month structured telerehabilitation program or standard post-discharge follow-up.
All participants will undergo assessments at 4 and 12 months to monitor physical, cognitive, psychological, and metabolic recovery, with the ultimate aim of promoting a more complete and sustained rehabilitation after critical illness.
調査の概要
詳細な説明
This interventional, two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an additional rehabilitation intervention compared with standard clinical practice in patients affected by Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). The post-rehabilitation phase represents a critical period for consolidating the therapeutic gains achieved during inpatient rehabilitation and reinforcing the clinical recommendations provided. In this framework, telerehabilitation emerges as a potentially valuable strategy to enhance adherence to post-rehabilitation prescriptions and ensure continuity of care.
The primary objective of the study is to assess whether a structured remote intervention can reduce the risk of rehospitalization and mortality, while improving clinical and functional outcomes across the four key domains of PICS. Specifically, the study will determine whether a multidisciplinary, remotely delivered cardiac telerehabilitation program can promote recovery and decrease the incidence of readmissions or complications among patients previously hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit.
Following completion of the inpatient rehabilitation program, participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups: the intervention group will undergo a structured four-month telerehabilitation program, whereas the control group will continue with standard discharge recommendations and conventional follow-up. All participants will be evaluated at 4 and 12 months after discharge to monitor physical, cognitive, psychological, and metabolic outcomes and to assess the long-term effectiveness of the intervention.
A total of approximately 326 patients aged between 30 and 75 years will be enrolled. Participation will be offered to individuals exhibiting signs or symptoms consistent with Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), with the overall aim of promoting a more complete and sustained recovery following the critical illness phase.
