Description of intervention(s) / exposure
retrospective calculation of the Acute Care Index of Function from physiotherapy and nursing notes
Data collected includes demographic (age, sex, admission diagnosis), APACHE II, comorbidities, SOFA score on admission and Day 3, clinical frailty score, CAM ICU, highest ICU Mobility scale, total mechanical ventilation time, total non invasive ventilation time, total number of renal replacement days, cumulative drug doses (opioid, vasoactive, antipsychotic,benzodiazepines, neuromuscular blockades, corticosteroids) ICU length of stay, Hospital length of stay, discharge destination, FIM on care-type change and discharge to rehab facility or care facility, 12 month mortality.
Data will be extracted from the ANZICs data base and electronic patient records for patients admitted to Canberra Hospital ICU from July 1 2018 to June 30 2019. Mortality data for 12 months post ICU will be sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Wellfare

Statistical methods / analysis
As this is a cohort study over a defined period of time, there is no statistical assumptions regarding sample size
Data will be extracted and organized in excel spreadsheets with all variables defined and a data dictionary established. Patient outcomes will be reported with descriptive statistics. Multiple regression models will be used to explore the relationships between functional measures (ACIF) (dependent variable) and length of stay, discharge destination, and clinical subpopulations. Survival analysis will be used if time to event data can be analyzed. Comparisons between groups will be performed with Pearsons’ Chi-square, t-test, ANOVA and their non-parametric equivalents. These models will be adjusted for demographic factors such as age, sex, clinical frailty and comorbidity. Medical interventions will be categorized, and their effect will be modelled with ACIF and length of stay as the dependent variables. At this point significance will be accepted where p < 0.05 in line with current research practices

Summary
Brief summary
A retrospective observational study to determine the outcomes of ICU survivors measured by the Acute Care Index of Function (ACIF) and determining factors that may effect outcome. The hypotheses for this study are:
• That ACIF scores at ICU discharge will predict physical function and discharge destination at hospital discharge
• That a relationship exists between patient factors and severity of illness on functional outcome measured by the ACIF at hospital discharge
• That the ACIF is a valid tool to measure the functional outcome of ICU survivors
