Conclusions
Our participatory designed ICU follow-up clinic and a pilot RCT assessing its effectiveness were feasible in terms of acceptability, fidelity, completeness and practicality. Regarding the primary outcome physical HRQOL, there were no signals for improvement six months after discharge from the ICU. We recommend planning and conducting a multicentre study to evaluate the effects of our proposed ICU follow-up clinic, subject to aforementioned adjustments.
