| Abstract |
The diagnosis of intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW) in the setting of neurological rehabilitation is steadily increasing. This is due to the fact that the intensive care of patients with sepsis or after cardiac or abdominal surgery is improving. A longer duration of respiratory weaning and comorbidities frequently complicate rehabilitation. Clinically, patients present with a flaccid (tetra) paresis and electrophysiological studies have shown axonal damage. Besides involvement of peripheral nerves, muscle can also be affected (critical illness myopathy) leading to ICUAW with inconstant myopathic damage patterns found by electrophysiological testing. Mixed forms can also be found. A specific therapy for ICUAW is not available. Early mobilization to be initiated on the intensive care unit and commencing neurological rehabilitation improve the outcome of ICUAW. This review highlights the current literature regarding the etiology and diagnosis of ICUAW. Furthermore, studies about rehabilitation and outcome of ICUAW are discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 October 2014.
All research outputs
#19,201,293
of 23,794,258 outputs
Outputs from Der Nervenarzt
#666
of 905 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#234,666
of 311,310 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Der Nervenarzt
#20
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,794,258 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 905 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 311,310 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
