Clinical Trial: Long-Term Outcomes and Post-Intensive Care Syndrome: Investigating the Associations Between Metabolic Signatures and Physical Functioning in Critically Ill Patients

U.S., Sept. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07170527) titled 'Long-Term Outcomes and Post-Intensive Care Syndrome: Investigating the Associations Between Metabolic Signatures and Physical Functioning in Critically Ill Patients' on Aug. 30.
