The examination included the detailed history taking, including the COVID-19 course, posteroanterior chest X-ray and pulmonary function tests. Anxiety level was assessed using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).

Lower values of FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second), DLCO (diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide), and KCO (carbon monoxide transfer coefficient) were associated with significantly higher BAI values.
