COVID-19 pandemic: Fraud in online recruitment of families at risk for post intensive care syndrome
Author(s)
Abstract

The purpose of this project is to describe fraudulent activity in an online survey. Nearly 5 million patients are admitted to the ICU in the US annually. An ICU  admission of a critically ill adult patient is stressful for families, and they are at risk for developing Post Intensive Care Syndrome-Family (PICS-F), a syndrome composed of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in restricted visiting of ICU patients by families. An online survey was employed to recruit families of ICU patients hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey included PICS-F symptoms and comfort level of family involvement. A stipend was offered as a concession for time. Evidence of fraud was detected and methods to address the activity implemented.
