Post-COVID quality of life: Study reveals long-term challenges for ICU patients

Study aimed to determine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of COVID-19 patients after hospitalization. The study found that HRQoL is limited in COVID-19 ICU patients 3- and 12-months post COVID-19 hospitalization, with significantly less improvement at 12-months compared to non-ICU patients. Mental disorders were common, highlighting the complexity of post-COVID-19 symptoms.
