3. Figure 2
Diagram showing the changes from baseline values in the 252 patients surviving to 6 months following ICU discharge. Pre-ICU admission scores are set to zero-level. Negative changes denote a decline in HRQOL in the dimension or component score. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. Differences between time points are given in Table 2.

4. Figure 3
Radar chart of the HRQOL in long-term survivors at ICU admission and follow-up compared to the healthy control population. Solid line with square = normal population; interrupted line with circle = survivors pre-ICU admission; interrupted line with triangle = survivors at 6 months following ICU discharge. $ = pre-ICU admission vs healthy population (significant difference, Table 3); * = pre-ICU admission vs 6-month follow-up (significant difference, Table 2); # = 6-month follow-up vs healthy population (significant difference, Table 2).

5. Figure 4
Radar chart of the HRQOL before ICU admission in long-term survivors (n = 252) and nonsurvivors (n = 159) vs the healthy population. Solid line with square = healthy population; interrupted line with circle = survivors pre-ICU admission; interrupted line with diamond = nonsurvivors pre-ICU admission; $ = long-term survivors pre-ICU admission vs healthy population (significant difference, Table 3); * = nonsurvivors pre-ICU admission vs healthy population (significant difference, Table 3); # = pre-ICU admission long-term survivors vs nonsurvivors at 6-month follow-up vs healthy population (significant difference, Table 3).
