The award funds research to develop and validate a quality-weighted hospital-free days outcome measure for acute respiratory failure patients, incorporating patient and caregiver reported data to improve clinical trial assessments.
Description
This project aims to design and evaluate a method to quality-weight hospital-free days using patient-reported assessments of quality of life, function, or caregiver burden, to improve outcomes measurement in ARF survivors. The study involves stakeholder consensus, prospective cohort analysis, and simulation studies to validate the new outcome measure.
