Social Support – Based on scores on the MSPS scale, lower scores indicate less social support. QOL: Quality of Life based on EQ5D- EQ5D 3 L index scores where lower scores indicate worse QOL; Comorbidity score is the Chalrson comorbidity index, with higher scores indicating more significant comorbidity. APACHE II- Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation scores where lower scores indicate greater severity of illness in the first 24 h of ICU admission; HADS – Hospital Anxiety Depression scale; IES-r – Impact of events scale revised- indicative of symptoms of posttraumatic stress
