Health-related quality of life of COVID-19 two and 12 months after intensive care unit admission.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and dyspnea of COVID-19, 2 and 12 months after an intensive care unit (ICU) stay.

Methods

Patients discharged from the ICU between April and June 2020 and subsequently transferred to an inpatient rehabilitation facility were assessed 2 months and 12 months after ICU admission. HRQoL was assessed by the EuroQoL EQ-5D-3L (visual analog scale and time trade-off normalized to the French population algorithm) and dyspnea was assessed by the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale.

Results

We enrolled 94 patients. Median EQ-5D-3L time trade-off was 0.80 (interquartile range, 0.36-0.91) at 2 months and 0.91 (0.52-1.00) at 12 months (P = 0.12). EQ-5D-3L visual analog scale was 70 (60-85) at 2 months and
