    Objectivesincidence of post-intensive care syndrome at one month after hospital discharge in surviving critically ill COVID 19 patients and to identify associated factors.Designprospective cohort study.Settingtwo multipurpose critical care units of the Araba University Hospital.Patients admitted to critical care units for severe acute respiratory failure secondary to COVID 19.Interventionnone.Variables Of Interestdemographic variables, length of stay, Charlson index, APACHE II, SOFA, days of mechanical ventilation, tracheotomy, delirium, tetraparesis of the critical patient, EuroQol 5D5L, Minimental Test.Resultsa deterioration in the EuroQol health index (HI) from 90.9 ± 16.9 to 70.9 ± 24.7 (p < 0.001) was observed. The impairment of the five EuroQol domains is: mobility (46.1%), usual activities (44.7%), discomfort/pain (30.7%), psychological domain (27.3%) and self-care (20.3%). The 61.5% suffer a significant decrease in their health index. Multivariate analysis by logistic regression shows us that delirium (OR= 3.01; 95%CI: 1.01-8.9; p= 0.047) and tracheostomy (OR= 2.37; 95%CI: 1.09-5.14; p= 0.029) show association with drop in EuroQoL 5D5L SI. The area under the ROC curve of the model is 67.3%, with a confidence interval between 58% and 76%. The model is calibrated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test:(χ2=0.468; p=0.792). Only 1.2% of patients showed a score ≤ 24, clearly pathological, on the Folstein's Minimental Test.Conclusionsdelirium and need for tracheostomy are associated with post-intensive care syndrome assessed by EuroQol 5D5L.© 2022 Elsevier España, S.L.U. y SEMICYUC.
