Trajectories of device-assessed physical activity and sleep in ICU- and non-ICU-treated patients up to 2 years after hospitalization for COVID-19, and their association with health-related quality of life.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Severe COVID-19 may have lasting effects on physical and sleep behaviors, which could affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to assess 2-year trajectories of device-assessed physical and sleep behaviors post-hospitalization, comparing ICU- and non-ICU-treated patients, and to assess their association with HRQoL.

Methods

7-day wrist-worn accelerometer assessment at 3-6, 12, and 24 months post-hospitalization. Physical behavior: physical activity volume, time spent in light (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) physical activity, and inactivity; sleep behavior: sleep duration, efficiency, and sleep regularity index (SRI); HRQoL: EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. Multivariable generalized estimating equations models were used to assess trajectories, and
