Remote Assessment of Quality of Life and Functional Exercise Capacity in a Cohort of COVID-19 Patients One Year after Hospitalization (TELECOVID).

ABSTRACT: Studies have reported persistent symptoms in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 up to 6 months post-discharge; however, sequalae beyond 6 months are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the clinical status of COVID-19 patients one year after hospital discharge and describe the factors related to poor outcomes. We conducted a single-center, prospective, cohort study of patients in Le Havre hospital (France) between 1 March 2020 and 11 May 2020. Baseline characteristics were collected from medical charts (including KATZ index and Clinical Frailty scale (CFS)), and a remote assessment was conducted 12 months after discharge. The main outcomes were the scores of the physical and mental components (PCS and MCS) of the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) and performance on the one-minute sit-to-stand test
