Erratum to: Intensive Care Med (2017) 43:992–1001 DOI 10.1007/s00134-017-4830-0

In the Results section, under the subheading “Return to work or usual activities”, the second sentence should read:

“At 6 months after ICU, 64 of 262 (25%) had not returned to work or studies because of their health”.

In the original publication, the authors mistakenly used the number in their cohort who were working prior to the ICU admission (n = 107) rather than using the total cohort (n = 262). The rest of the data, including Table 3, are correct.
