To assess long-term functional disability, exercise capacity, quality of life, and healthcare resource use five years following acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Assessed physical outcomes, exercise limitation, psychological sequelae, and healthcare utilization in survivors of severe lung injury across a five-year follow-up period.
Survivors of acute respiratory distress syndrome demonstrate persistent exercise limitations alongside physical and psychological sequelae.
Patients experience substantially decreased physical quality of life, accompanied by elevated healthcare costs and persistent use of medical services.

Implication

Long-term follow-up study reveals persistent functional disability and reduced quality of life after severe lung injury, highlighting extended healthcare needs.

Abstract

Exercise limitation, physical and psychological sequelae, decreased physical quality of life, and increased costs and use of health care services are important legacies of severe lung injury.
