| Abstract [eng] |
Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a common complication among critically ill patients, including those with COVID-19. While viral myopathy and established ICU-related risk factors predispose patients with COVID-19 to muscle dysfunction, few studies have directly compared muscle wasting and weakness between ICU populations with and without COVID-19 using both structural and functional assessment modalities. |
