Factors accounting for ineligibility into the RCT
| Factor | Frequency of occurrence (%) | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Ventilation ≥ 48 h | 294 (39.6) | Inclusion criterion not met |

| Existing rehabilitation pathway | 131 (17.6) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Sufficient mobility | 97 (13.1) | Inclusion criterion not met |
| ICU admission ≥ 48 h | 95 (12.8) | Inclusion criterion not met |
| Expected survival to hospital discharge | 93 (12.5) | Inclusion criterion not met |
| Palliative/terminal prognosis | 89 (12.0) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Complex medical comorbidity | 82 (11.0) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Disabling condition precluding exercise | 80 (10.8) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Unstable cardiac diagnoses | 75 (10.1) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Neurological diagnoses | 64 (8.6) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Impaired GCS | 42 (5.7) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Psychiatric diagnoses | 42 (5.7) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Ongoing renal haemodialysis | 32 (4.3) | Exclusion criterion met |
| Acute limb amputation | 13 (1.7) | Exclusion criterion met |

Data are presented as number (percentage), and report frequency of reported occurrence of each criterion; therefore. total percentages exceed 100% (n = 733). Multiple factors could apply per patient. GCS indicates Glasgow Coma Scale.
