Baseline characteristics of the included patients.
Fig 1.
A. Mean and standard deviation of the Perme Score at ICU admission and discharge between patients that improved and did not improve the PMI during ICU stay (light grey line represents the group of patients that “not improved” and dark grey line represents the group of patients that “improved”). B. Boxplot of Perme Score between groups and between ICU admission and discharge in these groups (light grey box represents the group of patients that “not improved” and dark grey box represents the group of patients that “improved”). Definition of abbreviations: ICU = intensive care unit; PMI = perme mobility index; ICU LOS = intensive care unit length of stay.
Fig 2.
Plot dispersion of Perme Mobility Index (PMI)–ΔPerme Score and the ICU LOS of each included patient (open circle represents patients under 60 years of age and closed circle represents patients above or equal 60 years of age).
The lines represent some of the PMI values, where it is possible to see that younger patients have higher PMI compared (concentrated at the top left of the graph) to older patients (concentrated at the bottom right of the graph), representing a better improvement of mobility level during the ICU LOS in younger patients. Definition of abbreviations: PMI = perme mobility index; ICU LOS = intensive care unit length of stay.
