(A) Long-term performance status over 12-month longitudinal follow-up. Baseline represents self-reported pre-sepsis performance status. *3, 6, and 12-month assessments compared to baseline, p<0.0001. (B) Long-term performance status comparing older (≥65 years), middle-age (46–64 years) and young (≤45 years) adults. *older vs middle-age and older vs young, both p<0.001. (C) Long-term performance status of chronic critical illness (CCI) as compared to rapid recovery (RAP) inpatient clinical trajectories. *CCI vs RAP, p<0.005.
