PICS - post-intensive care syndrome; OR - odds ratio; APACHE II - Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; ARDS - acute respiratory distress syndrome; CIP - critical illness polyneuropathy; ICU - intensive care unit; LOS - length of stay. The results are expressed as the mean, n (%) or median.
