Abstract
The COVID-19 infection pandemic is characterized by high morbidity, unclear prognosis of complications and a decrease in the quality of life of patients. The article presents the results of a prospective single-center cohort study of the quality of life of 134 patients who suffered from COVID-19 infection in mild and moderate forms. 99 patients reported the presence of any disorders at the time of the survey, 35 patients reported the absence of problems. 53,7% of respondents were concerned about moderate pain and/or discomfort, 41,8% of patients experienced a feeling of anxiety and/or depression and moderate mobility disorders. The median for EQ-VAS in patients with no symptoms was significantly higher compared to the median for EQ-VAS in patients with any problems (80 points versus 65 points, respectively). After a COVID-19 infection, mild to moderate forms of pain and/or discomfort, anxiety and/or depression, impaired mobility are present in half of the subjects, which leads to a decrease in the quality of life of patients.
