- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method patient-reported post-COVID symptoms measured with the standardised Post-COVID syndrome score (PCS Score) developed by Bahmer et al. (compare: Bahmer, T., et al., Severity, predictors and clinical correlates of Post-COVID syndrome (PCS) in Germany: A prospective, multi-centre, population-based cohort study. eClinicalMedicine, 2022. 51: p. 101549). This instruments includes 12 symptoms that are often reported by patients suffering from PCS. Those symptoms are weighted and summed up in an overall score indicating the severity of their PCS. The score is divided in three categories (no/mild PCS, moderate PCS and severe PCS). This instrument will be used in all three surveys (before and after the out-patient rehabilitation measure, as well as three months after the second measurement).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Health-related quality of life measured with SF-12; this instrument shows using two scores the mental and physical quality of life. Also this instrument will be used in all three surveys.
