ABCDEF Bundle Compliance and ICU Outcomes in Latin America

20 augustus 2026 bijgewerkt door: Jose J Zaragoza, MD MSc, Hospital H+ Queretaro

ABCDEF Bundle Compliance and Outcomes in Latin American Intensive Care Units: An International Multicenter Prospective Observational Study

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the degree of compliance with the ABCDEF bundle and its relationship with clinical outcomes in adult patients (aged 18 and older) admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Latin America for at least 48 hours.

The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the prevalence, cumulative incidence, and duration of delirium in adult ICU patients in Latin America? Is higher compliance with the ABCDEF bundle (low [<33%], moderate [33%-66%], high [>66%]) independently associated with a lower prevalence, cumulative incidence, and duration of delirium? Does higher ABCDEF bundle compliance improve functional mobility at hospital discharge and long-term cognitive, psychological, and quality-of-life outcomes at 3 and 6 months post-discharge? Researchers will compare three groups based on their level of ABCDEF bundle compliance (low [<33%], moderate [33%-66%], and high [>66%]) to see if higher bundle adherence improves delirium and long-term post-ICU functional outcomes.

Participants will:

Receive standard ICU care without experimental intervention. Undergo daily assessments for delirium (using CAM-ICU) and physical mobility (using ICU Mobility Scale) during their ICU stay.

Complete telephone follow-up evaluations at 3 months post-discharge to assess cognitive function (BCAT-ICU/MoCA) and psychological symptoms (HADS, DSPS).

Complete follow-up evaluations at 6 months post-discharge to assess cognitive function (full MoCA), psychological symptoms (HADS, DSPS), and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L).

Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Functional Mobility at ICU Discharge
Tijdsspanne: Assessed every 48 hours during the ICU stay until ICU discharge (up to 30 days)
Physical mobility evaluated using the ICU Mobility Scale (ICUMS), an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (nothing/lying in bed) to 10 (walking independently without a walking aid). Higher scores represent better physical mobility and functional status.
Assessed every 48 hours during the ICU stay until ICU discharge (up to 30 days)
Achievement of Standing or Walking at ICU Discharge
Tijdsspanne: Assessed every 48 hours during the ICU stay until ICU discharge (up to 30 days).
