Bone loss is an under-recognised sequela of critical illness and its consequences are underappreciated. Apart from fragility fractures in the months following ICU discharge with the associated morbidity and mortality, acute bone loss may contribute to and perpetuate organ dysfunction in critical illness. This talk will explore these concepts, summarise the available literature and discuss ways in which bone loss and its effects might be mitigated. This is an exciting field for future research in times where the focus is to enable our patients to thrive, not just survive their critical illness.
