The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the effect of the time spent with relatives of patients treated in a tertiary intensive care unit on patient outcomes.
The main question it aimed to answer was:
Does spending more time with relatives of patients in intensive care result in lower sedative agent requirements? Does spending more time with relatives of patients in intensive care result in less delirium, fewer ventilator days, and shorter ICU stays?

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Delirium | Each patient will be assessed for delirium every day during their hospitalization. CAM-ICU scoring will be used for assessment.

| Ventilatory days | For each patient, the number of days they are on a ventilator will be calculated as a percentage of their length of stay. For each patient, the days they receive invasive ventilation will be divided by the number of days they are treated in the intensive care unit to calculate the percentage. | Each patient will be evaluated and recorded daily up to first 4 weeks of their stay in ICU. |
| Stay in intensive care unit | The length of time each patient stays in intensive care will be recorded. | Each patient will be evaluated and recorded daily up to first 4 weeks of their stay in ICU. |
