Comparison of Self-assessment vs. Assessment by Others of Critically Ill Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
We will test the results of standardized questionnaires for patients admitted to intensive care assessed by relatives/caregivers compared to the patient itself. Furthermore we will compare results with patients not admitted to intensive care.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Agreement in assessment of ICU patients | Comparison of results of self-assessment versus assessment by others of standardized questionnaires of postoperative patients admitted to intensive care | 2 weeks before hospital admission | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Agreement in assessment of ICU vs. non-ICU patients | Comparison of results of assessment of questionnaires of ICU patients vs. non-ICU patients | 2 weeks before hospital admission | 
| Agreement in assessment of non-ICU patients | Comparison of results of self-assessment versus assessment by others of standardized questionnaires of postoperative patients not admitted to intensive care but to the normal ward | 2 weeks before hospital admission | 
| Multivariate testing using the closeness of the relationship | It will be tested if the closeness of relationship patient - relative/caregiver changes the agreement, i.e. if the agreement is dependent or independent of the closeness of the relationship | 2 weeks before hospital admission |
