- 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.
A symptomatic evaluation of fatigue, aspects related to fatigue and physical performance will be carried out.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Fatigue Impact 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 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 Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess multidimensional fatigue using the multidimensional fatigue inventory
Fatigue Severity 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 Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess muscular fatigue using surface electromyography
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Dyspnea Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess Dyspnea perception using the borg modified scale
COVID-19 information Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess information about the date and symptoms when COVID-19 was diagnosed
Frailty Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess frailty using the clinical frailty scale
Physical activity Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess physical activity using the international physical activity questionnaire. This measure assesses the types of intensity of physical activity and sitting time that people do as part of their daily lives are considered to estimate total physical activity in Metabolic Equivalent (MET)-min/week and time spent sitting.
Heart rate variability Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess heart rate variability using holter
Cough Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess cough using the leicester cough questionnaire
Functional status Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess functional status using the post-covid functional scale and functional independence measure
Sleep quality Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
Nutritional status Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess nutritional status using the mini nutritional assessment
Pain intensity Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess pain intensity using the visual analogue scale and brief pain inventory
Psychological status Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess Psychological status using the hospital anxiety and depression scale
Exercise capacity Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess exercise capacity using the Short Physical Performance Battery and the 6 minutes walk test
Health-related Quality of life Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess health-related quality of life using the euroqol-5d
Strength Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess strength using dynamometry
Kinesiophobia Through study completion, an average of 1 year To assess kinesiophobia using the TAMPA scale
