A prominent feature of COVID-19, both in the short and long term, is reduction quality life (QoL) due to low functionality scores presence fatigue, which can hinder daily activities. The main objective this study compare functional status, level physical activity, QoL patients with Long COVID other COVID-19 who did not develop persistent illness, determine whether there a relationship between these variables QoL. cross-sectional was conducted 170 participants had been infected or developed COVID. studied were functionality, measured using PostCOVID-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Short Form 12 (SF-12), Fatigue Severity (FSS). findings show significant (p < 0.001) reduced lower activity levels, increased fatigue severity, poorer patients. Furthermore, are also related worse QoL, but only status predicts it. In conclusion, our results have shown highly correlations group regarding fatigue.

Introduction Many people experience persistent or new-onset symptoms such as fatigue cognitive problems after an acute infection with COVID-19. This phenomenon, known long COVID, impacts physical and mental wellbeing, may affect perceived quality of life occupational perspectives likewise. The aim this study is to gain a deeper understanding how COVID health-related restrictions in their daily situation, identify key challenges they face. Methods Guided qualitative interviews were conducted 25 COVID. transcribed according Dresing/Pehl Kuckartz analyzed using content analysis. Afterward, systematic comparison the data reflection under consideration lifeworld-theoretical approaches (Berger Luckmann) carried out. Results revealed that many participants have severe which strongly impair them perform work-related activities, personal interests. interviewees already reach stress limit during routine household activities childcare. Of participants, 19 experienced limitations pursuing leisure 10 23 jobs reported being on sick leave for several months. Several respondents who had vocational reintegration are still affected by ongoing work performance considerably. leads uncertainty, role conflicts, decline social contacts, decreased incomes, contribute impairment life. Conclusions shows huge need specific support different areas To prevent from finding themselves economic precarity, decision-makers should develop strategies systematically sustainable into workforce. focus be creating COVID-sensitive workplaces, compensating improving access relief services reintegration.

Objectives There is limited qualitative research on patients’ experiences with long COVID-19, and how specific symptoms impact their daily lives. The study aimed to understand lived of COVID-19 develop a conceptual model representing the overall quality life. Setting Qualitative consisting comprehensive literature review, in-depth clinician patient semistructured interviews. Participants Forty-one adult patients whom 18 (44%) were recruited through Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’s clinical trials 23 (56%) recruitment agencies; 85.4% female 73.2% White. Five independent clinicians treating interviewed. Concept saturation was also assessed. Primary secondary outcomes Interview transcripts analysed thematically identify concepts interest spontaneously mentioned by patients, including impacts life, guide development model. Results Findings from review interviews resulted in comprising two overarching domains: (upper respiratory tract, lower smell taste, systemic, gastrointestinal, neurocognitive other) (activities living, instrumental activities physical impacts, emotional, social/leisure professional impacts).

Background Robust data comparing long COVID in hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients middle-income countries are limited. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted Brazil, including patients. Long diagnosed at 90-day follow-up using WHO criteria. Demographic clinical information, the depression screening scale (PHQ-2) day 30, compared between groups. If PHQ-2 score is 3 or greater, major depressive disorder likely. Logistic regression analysis identified predictors protective factors for COVID. Results total of 291 1,118 with COVID-19 were included. The prevalence 47.1% 49.5%, respectively. Multivariable logistic showed female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 4.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.51–8.37), hypertension (OR 2.90, CI 1.52–5.69), > 6.50, 1.68–33.4) corticosteroid use during hospital stay 2.43, 1.20–5.04) as patients, while 2.52, 1.95–3.27) 3.88, 2.52–6.16) Conclusion prevalent both Positive 30 post-infection can predict Early helps health staff to identify a higher risk COVID, allowing an early diagnosis condition.

Concerns have been raised globally regarding the long-term effects of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to investigate impact long COVID on health patients recovering from acute COVID-19 in China. We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey 1 February 9 March 2023. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used understand differences utility values between individuals with and without COVID. Factors associated health-related quality life (HRQoL) were determined using multiple linear regression model. A chi-square test compare 2 groups for each dimension EuroQoL-5 Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) scale. In total, 307 participants included analysis, which 40.39% exhibited at least persistent symptom. The common symptoms fatigue/weakness, coughing, memory decline, poor concentration, phlegm throat. Most reported mild their symptoms. After propensity matching, long-COVID group had lower scores than non-long-COVID (0.94 vs 0.97). multivariable low annual household income ( P < .05). Anxiety/depression pain/discomfort major problems experienced by Long-COVID following infection serious life. Therefore, it is necessary implement interventions improve patient after recovery COVID-19.
