Abstract

Background: The management of Long COVID symptoms is necessary. This study proposes a screening tool for psycho-physical COVID-19 sequelae. Patients' experiences after COVID-19 are also described.

Method: 84 COVID-19 patients (66.2±11.0 years old; 71.4% male) underwent a phone interview 1-2 years after the disease using the ad-hoc "Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 Checklist (PASC-C)". It explores 30 physical, psychological, and cognitive symptoms clustered into 10 areas, with possible clinical recommendations in case of high severity scores (>50) of a symptom or the presence of two or more ones within the same area.

Results: Overall, fatigue (69%), dyspnea (52.4%), memory disturbances (44%), joint-muscle pain (41.7%), vision/hearing loss (40.5%), anxiety (40.5%) persist one-two years after COVID-19 disease. Being a survivor was primarily defined in terms of being "lucky".

Conclusions: PASC-C seems promising in monitoring psycho-physical sequelae of Long COVID and providing tailored suggestions to care for the patient over time.

COVID-19 急性后遗症核对表（PASC-C）：COVID 长期生理、心理和认知症状筛查工具。

背景：有必要对长 COVID 症状进行管理。本研究提出了一种针对 COVID-19 后遗症的心理-生理筛查工具。方法：84 名 COVID-19 患者（66.2±11.0 岁；71.4% 为男性）在患病 1-2 年后接受了电话访谈，访谈中使用了临时制作的 "COVID-19 后遗症检查表（PASC-C）"。该表列出了 30 种身体、心理和认知症状，共分为 10 个方面，如果某一症状严重程度较高（>50 分）或同一方面出现两种或两种以上症状，则可能需要临床建议：总的来说，在 COVID-19 病发一两年后，疲劳（69%）、呼吸困难（52.4%）、记忆障碍（44%）、关节肌肉疼痛（41.7%）、视力/听力下降（40.5%）、焦虑（40.5%）等症状仍然存在。幸存者的主要定义是 "幸运"：PASC-C似乎有望监测长COVID的心理-生理后遗症，并为长期护理患者提供量身定制的建议。
