Association of Pulmonary Function Test Abnormalities and Quality-of-Life Measures after COVID-19 Infection

CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with an abnormal PFT, there was no temporal association with HRQoL scores as measured by EQ-5D-5L, GAD-7, PHQ-9, and PCL-5. Among patients with a normal PFT, mobility impairment and anxiety may be associated with COVID-19 infection. Following COVID-19 infection, impairment in HRQoL scores is not completely explained by the presence of abnormalities on spirometry.PMID:38636655 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.010
