In addition to the independent prognostic factors for mortality that are well known in intensive care (reason for admission, initial severity, etc.) and after intensive care (age, co-morbidities, life trajectory, etc.), patients who survive are more likely to have a good quality of life. ), patients who survive are likely to present complications with variable repercussions, depending in part on their demographic characteristics (age, comorbidities, presence or absence of a chronic pathology, etc.), their frailty, social determinants of health and, logically enough, the reason for admission and the occurrence of complications during hospitalisation. Thus, the potential consequences of a stay in intensive care may take several forms: 1) quality of life on leaving intensive care, 2) the occurrence or persistence of physical, psychological/psychiatric and/or cognitive symptoms grouped together under the term Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) and PICS-F when these manifestations concern the patient's relatives (F for Family) and 3) socio-economic status (SE) prior to admission with risks of a drop in income, social isolation and withdrawal, and the development of feelings of uselessness or of…
