Abstract

Data on the physical consequences and its recovery over time after hospitalization for COVID-19 are scarce. A factor that may influence physical function is persistent fatigue: a frequently reported complain after COVID-19. We described the trajectory of physical recovery up to 12 months and how persistent fatigue is related to physical function in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

This ongoing prospective cohort study included COVID-19 survivors admitted to hospitals in the Netherlands. Study visits were performed at 3, 6, and 12 months post discharge. Patients performed the 6 minute walk test, 1 minute sit-to-stand (1MSTS), grip strength with handheld dynamometry, and a questionnaire on fatigue. Analyses were performed using linear mixed models.

In total, 435 patients had current data available: mean age 59.7±11.7 years, 287 (66.0%) males, and mean hospital stay 18.8±19.2 days. Six-minute walking distance improved from 477.8±7.1m to 502.7±7.3m to 520.2±9.2m at 3, 6, and 12 months respectively (P
Physical recovery was observed in COVID-19 patients up to 12 months after hospitalization. The majority of patients reported persistent fatigue up to 12 months. We found that higher levels of fatigue contribute to poorer physical function.
