In this economic analysis, among ICU survivors overall, a remotely delivered multicomponent rehabilitation program was not cost-effective from a UK NHS-PSS perspective. Cost-effectiveness was more favorable from a societal perspective and for patients receiving mechanical ventilation for 7 days or less.
