Health-related quality-of-life differences between the reference group and ICU patients without preexisting diseases, with one preexisting disease, and more than one preexisting disease, respectively. (A) Health-related quality of life (SF-36) values shown for each dimension: physical functioning (PF), role limited by physical problems (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role limited by emotional problems (RE), and mental health (MH) in the Polar Plot Chart for the healthy reference group (n = 4,386) and the previously healthy ICU patients (n = 234), adjusted for age and sex. (B) Health-related quality of life (SF-36) values shown for each dimension: physical functioning (PF), role limited by physical problems (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role limited by emotional problems (RE), and mental health (MH) in the Polar Plot Chart for the reference group (n = 1,411), and the patients from ICU (n = 316) with one preexisting disease, adjusted for age and sex. (C) Health-related quality of life (SF-36) values shown for each dimension: physical functioning (PF), role limited by physical problems (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role limited by emotional problems (RE), and mental health (MH) in the Polar Plot Chart for the reference group (n = 296) and the patients from ICU (n = 230) with more than one preexisting disease, adjusted for age and sex.
