Brief Summary

Persistent Covid-19 symptoms, known as long Covid, can impact healthcare provision. This study aimed to assess how symptoms persisting six months after Covid-19 affect quality of life and functional capacity.

Conditions

COVID-19 Infection

Keywords

Long Covid; Quality of Life; COVID-19

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Functional capacity, physical function, physical role difficulties, emotional role difficulties, pain and general health

  Functional capacity was affected more in the group whose symptoms persisted than in the group whose symptoms did not persist (p\<0.05). Some of the SF-36 sub-parameters (physical function, physical role difficulties, emotional role difficulties, pain and general health) were found to be sig-nificantly more affected in participants with persistent symptoms (p\<0.05).

S+

Individuals with ongoing symptoms 6-18 months after Covid infection

Other: Evalation

Interventions
