They compared randomized controlled trials (RCTs) starting mobilization within 1 week of ICU admission to those initiating mobilization later than 1 week.\nAware that there is no uniform definition of “early mobilization” in the ICU yet, to use 1 week as cut-off point seems unreasonable for various reasons. So far, only studies starting early mobilization within 72 h have been able to improve patient outcomes, as summarized in published narrative reviews [2] with adoption in practice guidelines [3]. Schweickert et al. applied physical therapy and interruption of sedation within 72 h of ICU admission causing higher independent functionality at hospital discharge, shorter duration of delirium, and more ventilator-free days [4]. In another single-center RCT, the effect of standardized rehabilitation therapy in patients with acute respiratory failure leads to functional results at 6 months after hospital discharge [5]. [6]. And the just published study of an early mobility program started within 48 h confirmed improvement in function and increased functional independence [6]. In contrast, studies starting mobilization later had no beneficial effect [2].\nAnother current meta-analysis using different definitions was able to show an effect of early mobilization [7]. Finally, Ding et al. showed in their network meta-analysis that initiation of mobilization within 48–72 h in mechanical ventilation patients may be optimal to improve intensive care unit-acquired weakness [8].\nIn conclusion, as timing seems crucial for patient-centered outcomes, early mobilization should be consistently defined as mobilization within 72 h of ICU admission.\n\nPublisher’s Note\nSpringer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.\n\nAcknowledgements\nNot applicable\n\nAuthors’ contributions\nSJS designed the work, and KFK wrote the first draft.
