Methods: Prospective, longitudinal, multicentre trial in three combined medical and surgical intensive care units of one university and two general hospitals in Sweden. By mailed questionnaires, health related quality of life was assessed at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after the stay in ICU by EQ-5D and SF-36, and information of pre-existing disease was collected at the 6 months measure. ICU related factors were obtained from the local ICU database. Comorbidity and health related quality of life (EQ-5D; SF-36) was examined in the reference group. Among the 5306 patients admitted, 1663 were considered eligible (>24 hrs in the intensive care unit, and age ≥ 18 yrs, and alive 6 months after discharge). At the 6 month measure 980 (59%) patients answered the questionnaire. Of these 739 (75%) also answered at 12 month, 595 (61%) at 24 month, and 478 (47%) answered at the 36 month measure. As reference group, a random sample (n = 6093) of people from the uptake area of the hospitals were used in which concurrent disease was assessed and adjusted for. Results: Only small improvem ents were recorded in health related quality of life up to 36 months after ICU admission. The majority of the reduction in health related quality of life after care in the ICU was related to the health related quality of life effects of pre-existing diseases. No significant effect on the long-term health related quality of life by any of the ICU-related factors was discernibl e. Conclusions: A large proportion of the reduction in the health related quality of life after being in the ICU is attributable to pre-existing disease. The importance of the effect of pre-existing disease is further supported by the small, long term increment in the health related quality of life after treatment in the ICU. The reliability of the conclusions is supported by the size of the study populations and the long follow-up period. * Correspondence: lotti.orvelius@lio.se 1 Departments of Intensive Care Linköping University Hospital, Medicine and Health Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, Linköping University, Garnisonsvägen, Linköping, 581 85, Sweden Orwelius et al .

Introduction There is increasing focus on He alth-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) after critical illness [1]. In a recent sys- tematic review of relevant factors for the outcome of HRQoL,aftercareinanICU,itwasfoundthatimpor- tant predictors other than age and sex are severity of ill- ness (Acute Physiology and Chronic health Evaluation (APACHE) score), admission (acute/elective), or length of stay (LoS) [2]. In the same review, it was also sug- gested that pre-existing impairment or disease may be important because they are known to affect HR QoL and therefore should be controlled for. It will not be possible to accurately estimate the HRQoL of ICU survivors, the impact on HRQoL among ICU survivors or to compare the HRQoL of ICU survivors with that of the
