Calculating Route: Functional Trajectories and Long-Term Outcomes in Survivors of Severe COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We investigated functional trajectories after severe COVID-19 and estimated their associations with adverse outcomes (falls, rehospitalizations, institutionalization, or death), cognition and post COVID-19 condition within 1-year of hospital discharge.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

A large academic medical center in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Participants

Survivors of COVID-19 admissions to an intensive care unit.

Interventions

None.

Measurements

We evaluated participants' disability status before hospital admission and three, six, nine, and twelve months after discharge using 15 activities of daily living. During follow-up, cognition and post COVID-19 condition (defined as persistent symptoms with duration ≥2 months) were assessed.
