Abstract: Long-term sequelae associated with COVID-19 are currently poorly defined, specifically in patients who have been discharged from intensive care units. We hypothesized that functional and pulmonary capacity, as well as mental health and cognitive function, would remain outside the normal range for up to 12 months after ICU discharge.
