Health-related quality of life in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Post COVID-19 Condition: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC) are debilitating, chronic multi-systemic illnesses that require multidisciplinary care. However, people with ME/CFS (pwME/CFS) and people with PCC (pwPCC) are often precluded from accessing necessary disability and social support services. These unmet care needs exacerbate the existing illness burdens experienced by pwME/CFS and pwPCC. To deliver appropriate care and optimise health outcomes for pwME/CFS and pwPCC, the development of evidence-based healthcare policies that recognise the disabling impacts of these illnesses must be prioritised. This systematic review summarises the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of pwME/CFS and pwPCC when compared with healthy controls (HCs)
