Irrespective of the underlying illnesses, sequelae on all domains with effects on QoL were found [ 2, 19, 58, 75].
A significant number of patients survive the critical illness with sequelae that severely limit the quality of life and with expectations for a full functional recovery.
Although the infection usually causes a mild, self-limiting illness, serious sequelae, including Guillain-Barré syndrome and death, occur in approximately 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 20,000 infections, respectively (1 ).
To assess the effect of SARS on public health and outcomes, data are needed about who becomes ill, how they contracted their illness, and the sequelae.
We estimated the total QALYs lost to illness, treatment, pulmonary sequelae, and death related to PTB.
Illness includes behavioral sequelae.
Third, our study does not estimate all sequelae illness from foodborne disease pathogens.
There is also a need to develop dose response information for secondary illness end points (sequelae) resulting from pARB infections.
Approximately 179,000 cases of foodborne campylobacteriosis occur in Australia each year (1 ), and Campylobacter spp. was responsible for 80% of the foodborne sequelae illness estimated in this study.
There is little evidence to guide physicians to treatments in the intensive care unit that will minimize the effects of critical illness on these sequelae.
