Physical functional outcomes
The Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx) was completed in 26/29 (90%) patients at ICU discharge and 17/29 (59%) at hospital discharge. The median Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment score at hospital discharge was higher in the ketogenic feeding arm (34 (95%CI 22-45) vs. 25 (95%CI 8-46). Collection of data for other physical function milestones (e.g. sit-to-stand 20.8%, bed-to-chair 29.2%, Short Physical Performance Battery 9.5%, 2 and 6 minute-walk tests <5%) was severely impeded by COVID-19-related limitations in access to physiotherapists for these assessments due to re-deployment.
