Factors influencing long-term recovery in critically ill COVID-19 survivors: A prospective multicentre cohort study

Abstract

Background Long-term outcomes after critical COVID-19 have not been sufficiently studied. This study aimed to describe changes in functional outcome and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessed at 3 and 12 months in a cohort of critically ill COVID-19 survivors. A secondary aim was to investigate factors associated with good functional outcome and HRQoL at 12 months.
