Background/Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic had significant implications for healthcare workers (HWs), especially those that work in hospitals. This study evaluated health related quality of life (HRQOL) and its relationship with dyspnea approximately one year after infection HWs. Methods: HWs previous infections were interviewed, the EuroQol five-dimensional three-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) a visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate HRQOL. Self-reported clinical sociodemographic data also obtained. Data stratified by presence self-reported moment interview. association between HRQOL regression models, either unadjusted or adjusted potential confounders (for age sex, marital status, category, number comorbidities, days diagnosis evaluation). Results: A total 109 interviewed; median post this group 400 (IIQ 25–75% 321–428). majority women (67.9%); 44 38–52) years. Overall, EQ-5D-3L score 0.79 0.74–0.85), VAS 80 70–90). indicated 22 individuals (20.2%). associated lower scores, both non-adjusted models. In addition, more problems carrying out usual activities models (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Our results underscore long-term COVID-19, based on persistent perceptions Future studies, extended follow-up employment cardiopulmonary mental testing, may help elucidate nature extent sequelae.

ABSTRACT Long COVID has widespread and long‐lasting multisystemic impacts on patients' bodies, cognition, daily functioning, including the ability to work. Longitudinal studies are important in investigating expected timelines along course of recovery. This mixed cross‐sectional/longitudinal study examines how symptoms (cognitive noncognitive) objective cognitive function evolve post‐COVID‐19 patients ( n = 187) compared noninfected controls 207). Participants completed a questionnaire about their COVID‐19 experience tasks at baseline again 2–3 follow‐ups during 9‐month period. While some noncognitive improved over time d s 0.34–0.87), neurological symptoms, as well memory assessed with assessments, remained unimproved (nonsignificant change time). Neurological predicted both impairment across time. Our finding suggested that people past infection did not improvement time, least for duration this longitudinal study.
