P225 Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Long COVID – The impact of social deprivation and treatment delay on outcomes

Abstract

P225 Figure 1ConclusionsThis study is a real-world delivery of PR in patients with Post COVID-19 syndrome, illustrating the improvements in physical conditioning. Unlike previous studies in the COPD population, socioeconomic status and the delays in starting PR did not affect the outcome of PR.1 As such this PR should be offered to any eligible patients following COVID-19 infection to improve their physical fitness.ReferenceSteiner MC, Lowe D, Beckford K, et al.
