Biomarkers and outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients

Didriksson, Ingrid LU orcid (2025) In Lund University, Faculty of Medicine Doctoral Dissertation Series
Abstract
This thesis investigates the survival and long-term outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in the Skåne region of Sweden between May 2020 and May 2021. We aimed to address knowledge gaps by conducting a prospective, multicentre cohort study following 498 ICU patients over three years, evaluating mortality, functional, physical, and mental outcomes, as well as Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and disease severity biomarkers.
Abstract (Swedish)
Denna avhandling undersöker överlevnad och långsiktiga utfall hos kritiskt sjuka COVID-19-patienter som vårdades på intensivvårdsavdelningar (IVA) i Skåne mellan maj 2020 och maj 2021. Vi syftade till att fylla kunskapsluckor genom att genomföra en prospektiv, multicenterstudie där vi följde 498 IVA-patienter under tre år och utvärderade dödlighet, funktionella, fysiska och psykiska utfall, samt hälsorelaterad livskvalitet (HRQoL) och biomarkörer för sjukdomssvårighetsgrad.
