We characterized 1-year functional recovery post-hospitalization for COVID-19, highlighting predictors of long-term recovery.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000We enrolled adult patients with lab-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalized for COVID-19 sequelae, from five major Ontario, Canada hospitals in a prospective cohort study. Assessments included telephone interviews on admission followed by telephone and in-person assessments at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months post-discharge. The Activity-Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) Mobility and Cognition scales were administered at baseline and every 3 months for 1 year. Secondary outcomes included symptoms, spirometry, physical performance, dyspnea, fatigue, distress, anxiety and depression, and quality of life.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000254 patients (57.1% male) with a mean age of 60.0 (±13.1) years and an average hospital stay of 14.3 (±19.7) days agreed to participate. At 12 months, 55.3% demonstrated clinically important deficits in mobility and 38.8% had cognitive deficits compared to premorbid levels. Fatigue was reported in 44.2%, followed by difficulty walking long distances in 35.8% and dyspnea in 33.0%. Almost 40% of patients had an FEV1(% Pred) < 80% at 12 months, 60.3% had impairments in physical performance, and 44.5% had problems with anxiety or depression. Predictors of better mobility at 12 months included higher premorbid mobility status, male sex, shorter hospital stay, fewer comorbidities, and higher FEV1 (% pred) at the 3-month follow-up.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Our study provides compelling evidence of the long-term impact of COVID-19 on functional and cognitive status 1-year post-infection.","PeriodicalId":506245,"journal":{"name":"The American Journal of Medicine","volume":"110 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141390907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
