RAP, rapid recovery; CCI, chronic critical illness; LOS, length of stay; ICU, intensive care unit; MOF, multiple organ failure; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment score; NSTI, necrotizing soft tissue infection; UTI, urinary tract infection; CLABSI, central-line associated bloodstream infection; SNF, skilled nursing facility; LTAC, long-term acute care facility.
