Pre-COVID-19 HRQOL Predicts Severity of Long COVID Symptoms
Poor pre-COVID-19 HRQOL was associated with a greater number of symptoms in patients who developed long COVID.
Researchers found that pre-COVID-19 mental and physical health is significantly worse in patients who later develop long COVID, according to a study published in Frontiers in Public Health.
A retrospective cohort study was conducted on adult patients with long COVID who received care in a multidisciplinary COVID-19 recovery clinic between February 2021 and March 2024.
The study aimed to determine whether health-related quality of life (HRQOL) prior to COVID-19 infection predicts development of long COVID symptoms.
Patients completed the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health (PROMIS-GH) questionnaire to evaluate mental and physical health measures.
- Pre-COVID-19 HRQOL was compared between patients who developed long COVID and matched control patients.
- HRQOL trajectories were also compared from initial infection through 1 year.
