Long COVID Symptoms and Five Dimensions of HRQoL: A Retrospective Regional Study of Patients Recovered from COVID-19 Infection in Saudi Arabia
Published 2025-05-01“…Multiple regression analysis showed that marital status (p=0.05), irregular exercise (p< 0.01), duration of hospitalization (p< 0.01), and oxygen therapy (p< 0.05) were the independent background factors affecting HRQoL post-COVID-19. Among the long-COVID-19 symptoms, fatigue (p=0.05), persistent cough (p=0.001), dyspnea (p=0.02), and sexual dysfunction (p< 0.001) were the independent factors that impacted the HRQoL after controlling for background variables.Conclusion: The study has significant implications for Saudi Arabia’s Health Sector Transformation Program that could achieve its goals of human centric care and patient satisfaction though addressing the negative impacts of specific long-COVID symptoms such as fatigue, persistent cough, dyspnea and sexual dysfunction and improving the HRQoL in domains of pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression.Keywords: pandemic, healthcare, fatigue, pain, discomfort, anxiety, sexual dysfunction…”
