PICS Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Risk Assessment

Estimate risk of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome across cognitive, psychological, and physical domains based on ICU stay length, mechanical ventilation duration, sedation exposure, and severity scores.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Estimate risk of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome across cognitive, psychological, and physical domains based on ICU stay length, mechanical ventilation duration, sedation exposure, and severity scores

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Cognitive — The cognitive recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Psychological — The psychological recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Physical domains based on ICU stay length — The physical domains based on icu stay length recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Mechanical ventilation duration — The mechanical ventilation duration recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Sedation exposure — The sedation exposure recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the pics risk score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the cognitive, psychological, physical domains based on ICU stay length, mechanical ventilation duration, sedation exposure for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate risk of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome across cognitive, psychological, and physical domains based on ICU stay length, mechanical ventilation duration, sedation exposure, and severity scores. Use the pics risk score result to inform your calculation.
