- Abstract
Introduction: Patients on bed rest in intensive care units (ICU) prolong length of stay in the unit. Objectives: To compare ICU admission and discharge functionality according to medical specialty, and to correlate ICU discharge functionality with ICU length of stay. Methods: Longitudinal exploratory study, performed at the General ICU of a teaching hospital. The patients were divided into groups according to the hospitalization specialty: neurology, pneumology, gastroenterology, polytrauma and others. The functional status prior to hospitalization was obtained through the functional independence measure (FIM). At discharge, the ICU functional mobility scale (FMS) was applied. Results: A sample of 174 patients, 53% male. The polytrauma group was significantly younger than the other groups (p < 0.0001). The mean length of stay for the neurology and pneumology groups was inversely proportional to p = 0.02 / r = -0.5 and p = 0.009 / r = -0.4, respectively. There was no significant difference between the mean FIM at admission (p = 0.11) and FMS at discharge (p = 0.24) between the medical specialties at which patients were admitted. Conclusion: The longer the patient stays in the IC, the lower functionality at discharge in neurological and lung disease patients.
