  1. †Base case analysis: we assumed that from year five to year seven post-discharge the relative risk of mortality amongst post-ICU patients was the same as that in year five. From year eight onwards, the relative risk was assumed to be 1.
  2. *Sensitivity analysis: we assumed the mortality rates among the post-ICU patients after five years post-discharge to be the same as those in the general population matched for age and sex.
  3. â—ŠGeneral population: we applied the mortality rate of the Thai general population age- and sex-matched to all post-ICU patients since ICU discharge.
