The LIFE-UP audit explicitly includes nutrition and post-ICU follow-up alongside other prevention domains. Nutrition, family engagement, and formal post-ICU follow-up were weaker implementation areas. Sedation and analgesia was the strongest implemented domain in the audit. The LIFE-UP bundle includes limiting sedation, optimizing nutrition, engaging families, promoting exercise, and follow-up after discharge. Repeated annual LIFE-UP audits could raise awareness of PICS and support standardised prevention strategies.
