Independence within activities of daily living will be measured using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM™). The FIM will quantify the participant’s functional and cognitive status at intensive care unit and hospital discharge, as well as at 90 days post-randomisation. This tool is validated for use in the critically ill population [60, 61] and provides reliable information regarding patient functional change during rehabilitation across various hospital and community settings [62]. The FIM will be conducted within 24 h of the expected discharge from the intensive care unit and hospital or on the Friday before the expected discharge, if likely to occur over the weekend. It will also be administered during the 90-day follow-up session. The FIM will be performed by an occupational therapist blinded to participant assignment groups and who does not actively work on the intensive care unit.
