AB  - PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to describe long-term survival and 
      health-related quality of life (HRQoL), measured by EQ-6D, in a general intensive 
      care unit (ICU) population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included 5934 consecutive 
      adult patients admitted to a mixed-population ICU. There were no exclusion 
      criteria. One-year survival status was determined using the Dutch municipal 
      population register. Subsequently, all survivors received the EuroQoL EQ-6D-3L 
      questionnaire. The primary outcome was overall HRQoL and survival of the ICU 
      survivors, compared to overall QoL of an age- and sex-matched reference 
      population. RESULTS: A total of 5138 patients (86.6%) survived until hospital 
      discharge, with 4647 (78.3%) patients surviving the 1-year of follow-up. The 
      EuroQoL questionnaire was sent to 4465 survivors and returned by 3034 (68.0%) of 
      4465. The median HRQoL in surviving patients was 0.83 (interquartile range [IQR], 
      0.64-1.00) vs 0.86 (IQR, 0.85-0.86) in the reference population (P < .001). There 
      was marked variation across admission diagnosis groups: cardiac surgery patients 
      had an HRQoL of 0.94 (IQR, 0.74-1.00), whereas patients admitted with chronic 
      renal failure had an HRQoL of 0.65 (IQR, 0.47-0.83). CONCLUSIONS: One year after 
      ICU admission, HRQoL was significantly lower than in the reference population. 
      Notably, marked variations were found across subgroups.
