Pulmonary function tests, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), chest CT, and HRQoL (using EuroQol 5D three-level [EQ-5D-3L]) were performed at least 12 months after hospital discharge among cases (COVID-19 complicated by ARDS) and at the time of inclusion among controls (family members/friends matched for sex and age).<h4>Interventions</h4>None.<h4>Measurements and main results</h4>A total of 114 COVID-19Critical care explorationse1286https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12440408biostudies-literatureLong-Term Cardiopulmonary Function After COVID-19-Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Multicenter Case-Control Study.PMC12440408Teixeira CFogazzi DVBarreto BBRover MMNunes da Silva GFacchi LDias da Silva MMLisboa TCAntonio ACPPolanczyk CARobinson CCDos Santos RDRMFalavigna MScolari FLItaqui CRTrott GFernandes JCRosa RGMardini ACBenedetto IGRieth GBPos-COVID Brazil 3 Group Investigatorsde Souza DGobetti da Luz Lde Souza Roldao EMarcolino MSMiozzo APde Souza JMBLago BORech GSSchardosim RFCMocellin DDonelli da Silveira APacheco TNasi LASchvartzman PRDraghetti MKfalseLong-Term Cardiopulmonary Function After COVID-19-Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Multicenter Case-Control Study.<h4>Objectives</h4>This study aimed to evaluate long-term pulmonary function, cardiopulmonary exercise capacity, chest CT findings, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in survivors of COVID-19 complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).<h4>Design, setting, and patients</h4>This is a multicentric case-control study conducted from February 2023 to December of 2023.
