Brief Summary
This longitudinal, prospective observational study aims to evaluate functional status in critically ill adult patients in the Intensive Care Unit using the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx). The primary objective is to analyze CPAx score variation as a potential predictor of clinical outcomes, including mortality and duration of mechanical ventilation. Functional assessments will be performed at intensive care unit (ICU) admission and discharge to monitor changes in physical function and to predict adverse clinical outcomes.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: All adult patients admitted to the Pedro Ernesto University Hospital (HUPE) General ICU over 18 years of age and with an ICU stay greater than or equal to 48 hours will be included. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy * Inability to record the CPAx score within the first 48 hours of ICU admission or on the day of ICU discharge * ICU readmission * Known comorbidities causing generalized weakness, such as neuromuscular or neurological diseases
