Long Term Outcomes in Patients With Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) on Pulmonary Functions, Exercise Capacity, Lung Structure and Quality of Life

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has a clinical spectrum ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe cases requiring intensive care hospitalization due to respiratory failure. The disease mostly infects the lower respiratory tract. Typical computed tomography findings of lung involvement are bilateral, peripherally located ground glass density and consolidations. There is a close relationship between tomography findings and clinical severity. It is not known whether there will be complete recovery in the lungs.

Investigators will evaluate pulmonary structures with chest computed tomography, respiratory capacity with pulmonary function tests (PFTs), exercise capacity with six minutes walk test and quality of life with short form-36 (SF-36) im patients who survivors of COVID-19 at least 6 months after hospital discharge.
