One-year trajectories of physical and mental health-related quality of life, fatigue and dyspnoea in COVID-19 survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A substantial number of people experience a persisting impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after COVID-19. The current study aims to identify different trajectories of physical and mental HRQoL, fatigue severity, and dyspnoea severity following hospitalisation with COVID-19, and associated factors of these trajectories.

Methods

500 patients with COVID-19 were followed for one year in a longitudinal cohort study. Self-reported outcomes were measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after hospitalisation. Distinct trajectories were characterised using Growth Mixture Modelling. Sociodemographic and clinical correlates of trajectories were investigated using multivariable (multinomial) logistic regression analyses.

Results

Three trajectories ('stable high' (
