Crit Care Med 2006; 34:2883-2890. This is a follow-up study of patients enrolled in a clinical trial of inhaled nitric oxide demonstrating no effect of this therapy on long-term health related quality of life. This is an excellent example of how long-term outcome data collection can be added to clinical trials of ICU based interventions.
