  1. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; RR, relative risk; SF-36 PFS, Short Form-36 Physical Function Subscale.
  2. * Linear regression analysis with 47 patients that had complete chart review and completed SF-36 at 1 year. Reported coefficients represent the change in SF-36 PFS score at 1 year for every 1 unit increase in FCI score. A 1.5-unit difference in FCI score corresponds to a minimum important difference in SF-36 PFS score at 1 year.
  3. ** Adjusted for age and sex at ICU admission.
