Clinical outcomes and quality of life of COVID-19 survivors: A follow-up of 3 months post hospital discharge

Respiratory Medicine May 28, 2021

Todt BC, Szlejf C, Duim E, et al. - This study was carried out to assess the effect of COVID-19 on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) 3 months after hospital discharge. Additionally, we screened for anxiety and depression and assessed important clinical outcomes. Researchers conducted a single-center cohort study in Sao Paulo (Brazil), in which participants were contacted by telephone to answer a short survey. They used EQ-5D-3L to evaluate HRQoL and clinical data from patients’ index admission were retrieved from medical records. A total of 251 participants were enrolled (59.8% males, mean age 53 years old), 69.7% of which had presented with severe COVID-19. This study’s findings demonstrate that individuals hospitalized for COVID-19 frequently face persistent clinical and mental health problems up to 3 months following hospital discharge, with a significant impact on patients’ HRQoL.
