Predictors of Functional Impairment in Severe COVID-19 Patients Two Months After Discharge.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Post-COVID-19 Functional Status (PCFS) scale is a validated tool used to measure the functional status of patients discharged from the hospital.

Objectives

To describe the functional limitations of hospitalized COVID-19 patients at the time of discharge and two months afterward, and to identify risk factors associated with functional impairment.

Design

Retrospective study.

Methods

A total of 540 patients were included in this monocentric study. The functional status assessment using the PCFS scale and ventilatory needs were recorded at discharge and two months later. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed in order to identify the risk factors of a high PCFS score.

Results

Two months after discharge, the PCFS grade was 0 in 60,
