Handgrip and inspiratory muscle strength as surrogates for intensive care unit–acquired weakness: A prospective cohort study in Taiwan
HGS and MIP show promise as surrogate markers for ICUAW, with our ICU survivor cohort revealing comparable HGS and lower MIP cut-off values compared to previous recommendations. These results emphasise the importance of tailored cut-offs and screening approaches for different ethnic and geographic regions. Additionally, they provide preliminary reference values for ICU survivors in Taiwan and highlight the need for further studies in the region.
