A prospective 1-year outcome study in survivors of ARDS assessing relationships between quality of life and markers of illness severity, depression, anxiety, and neurocognitive sequelae. Decreased quality of life was related to increased depression, anxiety, and length of ICU stay, duration intubation, and hospital length of stay but not to neurocognitive sequelae.
