PICSQ included three factors: mental, cognitive, and physical areas. The total number of items was 18, with six items for each factor. The time required for an ICU survivor to respond to PICSQ was less than 5 min. The responses to each item are either 0 (Never), 1 (Sometimes), 2 (Most often), or 3 (Always). The total PICSQ score can be between 0 and 54, and the mean can be between 0 and 3.
