简要总结
The onset of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the first months of 2020 had a huge impact on Italian population and Healthcare System, with more than 150.000 total confirmed cases1. SARS-CoV-2 is a highly contagious new virus, causing an influenza like illness and respiratory tract infection demonstrating fever (89%), cough (68%), fatigue (38%), sputum production (34%) and/or shortness of breath (19%).
The aim of this observational study is to detect symptoms, disabilities, participation and the lived experience of the disease in individuals affected by COVID-19 two months after the hospital discharge.
详细描述
The onset of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the first months of 2020 had a huge impact on Italian population and Healthcare System, with more than 150.000 total confirmed cases. SARS-CoV-2 is a highly contagious new virus, causing an influenza like illness and respiratory tract infection demonstrating fever (89%), cough (68%), fatigue (38%), sputum production (34%) and/or shortness of breath (19%). The spectrum of disease severity ranges from an asymptomatic infection or mild upper respiratory tract illness (80% of cases), to 15% of cases with severe infection with fever, cough, fatigue and shortness of breath, requiring oxygen, and 5% are severe viral pneumonia with respiratory failure requiring ventilation and life support and/or death. At present, clinicians do not know the real impact of Coronavirus Disease on patients' performances, functional status and QoL. Patients admitted to hospital experience fever, cough, dyspnea, muscle soreness and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome but healthcare professionals observe also anxiety, depression and important functional limitations during hospital stay. This situation is expected to have a significant negative impact in the short term, mainly for patients affected by other medical conditions and it may lead to deconditioning, fatigue, isolation, poor functional status and QoL.
In the first months after COVID-19 outbreak, researchers focused their studies on infection epidemiology, transmission, COVID-19 diagnosis and medical treatments. As the epidemic progresses, a large part of patients is expected to come out of the acute phase, and they may need adequate rehabilitation to face functional limitations and return to previous levels of participation.
To date, the very few studies published on the rehabilitation of positive and symptomatic patients with COVID-19 focused on pulmonary rehabilitation guidelines or on implications for rehabilitation services. To our knowledge, no clinical trial on rehabilitation intervention for patients after COVID-19 is ongoing. Our research group set up an observational study to detect patients' rehabilitation needs after COVID-19, collecting data on symptoms, impairments, functional abilities and participations to social life in the first months after hospital discharge.
The aim of this observational study is to detect symptoms, disabilities, participation and the lived experience of the disease in individuals affected by COVID-19 two months after the hospital discharge.

结局指标
主要结局
number of participants with depression
时间窗: 2-months after hospital discharge
depression will be assessed with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), subscale 'Depression', minimum value 0-maximum value 24, lower score=better outcome, cut-off for clinically significant depression score\>7
number of participants with fatigue
时间窗: 2-months after hospital discharge
Fatigue will be assessed with Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), minimum value 9-maximum value 63, lower value=better outcome
number of participants with considerable dyspnea: Medical Research Council (MRC, 0-4, lower score better outcome)
时间窗: 2-months after hospital discharge
Dyspnea will be measured with Medical Research Council (MRC), minimum value 0-maximum value 4, lower value= better outcome
number of participants with anxiety
时间窗: 2-months after hospital discharge
anxiety will be assessed with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), subscale 'Anxiety', minimum value 0-maximum value 24, lower score=better outcome, cut-off for clinically significant anxiety score\>7
次要结局
- description of qualitative data about patients' experience(2-months after hospital discharge)
- level of independence in B-ADL(2-months after hospital discharge)
- level of participation in social(2-months after hospital discharge)
