Many intensive care unit (ICU) survivors suffer from physical disability for months after ICU 
stay. There is no structured method to identify patients at risk for such problems. The purpose 
of the study was to develop a method for early in-ICU prediction of the patient’s individual 
risk for new-onset physical disability two months after ICU stay.
