Proposed associations of inflammatory, patient, and hospital factors with cognitive and physical functioning impairments after critical illness. *Proposed temporal phases for studying inflammatory biomarkers: 1) in-ICU (acute: up to Day 7; subacute: beyond Day 7), 2) at discharge (ICU and hospital), and 3) postacute (after hospital discharge). SIRS = systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
