Study Overview
Brief Summary
More than half of recovered COVID-19 patients experience fatigue. Studies are needed to define the profile of these patients.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the profile of surviving patients of COVID-19 in relation to fatigue.
Detailed Description
Background: More than half of recovered COVID-19 patients experience fatigue. Studies are needed to define the profile of these patients.
Objectives: Evaluate the profile of surviving patients of COVID-19 in relation to fatigue;
Methodology: Observational study. The profile of the survivors of COVID-19 will be described, dividing them into 2 groups based on the presence or absence of fatigue.
Patients will be recruited from the Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital in Granada.
The evaluation will be carried out through Google forms, telematic means or face-to-face depending on the variables.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Fatigue Impact
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
To assess fatigue impact using the modified fatigue impact scale. All items are scaled so that higher scores indicate a greater impact of fatigue on a person's activities. This scale can range from 0 to 36.
Perceived Fatigue
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
To assess perceived fatigue using the borg modified scale. Scale ranges from 0 to 10, with higher punctuation indicating higher fatigue perception.
Multidimensional Fatigue
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
To assess multidimensional fatigue using the multidimensional fatigue inventory
Fatigue Severity
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
To assess fatigue severity using the fatigue severity scale. The total score ranges from 7 to 63 points, with higher punctuation indicating higher fatigue severity
Muscular Fatigue
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
To assess muscular fatigue using surface electromyography
