Background: Reports on CINM in Vietnam have been so far hardly found in medical media. Objective: This study will attempt to give an identification of the clinical, para-clinical characteristic ratios, the resilience and the incidence of CINM found in patients having been treated in ICU. Materials and methods: The cross-section descriptive study with longitudinal observation were conducted on 133 patients from October 2010 through October 2012 at Tien Giang Hospital. Results: The CINM incidence is quite high reaching up to 54.89 percent. Most of the clinical, paraclinical characteristics detected was in fact similar to those explained in medical textbooks and other studies. Nearly half of the 133 cases surveyed were dead at the hospital, reaching 49 percent. Nearly one-fourth of the other patients were partly or fully recovered after 3 months. More than half of these show no signs of recovery and some of them whose conditions are seen to get worse and nearly a quarter died after being discharged from hospital. Conclusions: The incidence of CINM is quite high but there is hope for a possibility of full recovery. Thus, the author should attend to detect its signs and symptoms as soon as possible to help limiting its incidence and severity.
