Research summary
Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIP/CIM) are rare disorders seen in patients admitted with severe illness to intensive care. They occur both in children and adults. Patients have severe muscle weakness (paralysis) which prolongs hospital stay and many do not recover fully. The underlying reason for this is still not fully understood. Several large studies have looked into CIP/CIM in adults including long-term outcomes but this information is lacking in children. This study will aim to gather information to better understand the risk factors and long-term outcomes in children and young people with CIP/CIM to better inform clinicians, patients and families about this rare disorder.
