non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, low cardiac output syndrome, and cardiovascular death) during ICU stay in selected centers, with and without censoring at 90 days\n- The presence or absence of signs of liver dysfunction in ICU, with and without censoring at 90 days\n- The duration of antibiotic treatment during ICU stay, with and without censoring at 90 days\n- The incidence of bacteremia, and of airway, urinary tract, wound and other infections acquired during ICU stay, with and without censoring at 90 days\n- Peak and time profile of C-reactive protein concentrations during ICU stay, with and without censoring at 90 days\n- The number of readmissions to the ICU within 48 hours after discharge, with and without censoring at 90 days\n- The presence or absence of delirium during ICU stay (in selected centers), with and without censoring at 90 days\n- Biochemical, metabolic, immunological, inflammatory, cardiac and (epi)genetic markers on blood and tissue samples up to 5 years post randomization (depending on additional funding and in selected centers)\n- Muscle strength, rehabilitation, recovery of organ function and survival up to 5 years post randomization in selected centers and subgroups of patients (depending on additional funding)\n- Long-term functional outcome: For all patients: a validated health questionnaire (Short Form 36, SF-36) 2 years after inclusion\n- Subgroup of brain-injured patients: additional functional outcome after 6 and 12 months (extended Glasgow outcome scale and/or modified Rankin scale)\n- Survival and Barthel index (index obtained by verbal questionnaire) up to 5 years post randomization, in selected centers\n- Use of intensive care resources (costs for hospitalization, for honoraria for medical and allied healthcare services, for pharmacy, for blood products, for clinical chemistry, for radiology, for graft products and for other expenses)\n- The presence or absence of new-onset diabetes mellitus diagnosed after enrolment in the study, up to 5 years post randomization, and, if applicable, the timing of diagnosis and current treatment (e.g. diet only, antidiabetic drugs, insulin or other parenteral treatment), in selected centers\n- The presence or absence of pancreas or pancreatic islet transplantation, up to 5 years post randomization, and, if applicable, the timing of transplantation, in selected centers\n- The presence or absence of end stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with maintenance renal replacement therapy (RRT) or kidney transplantation, at up to 5 years post randomization, and, if applicable, the timing of initiation and the modality of RRT (in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), in selected centers","definition_or_measurement_approach":"As stated per endpoint: many secondary endpoints are measured with and without censoring at 90 days; specific metrics and timepoints are described in each endpoint (e.g., glucose metrics, incidence counts, durations, validated questionnaires, laboratory markers, and follow-up up to 5 years where indicated)."}
