From a one-year follow-up study of 500 participants who contracted COVID-19 in the Netherlands, three trajectories ‘stable high’ (16%), ‘improving’ (40%), and ‘stable low’ (44%)) were found for physical HRQoL (Health Related Quality of Life).

Four fatigue trajectories (‘no fatigue’ (15%), ‘improving’ (40%), ‘low-severe’ (27%), and ‘high-severe’ (18%)) were found.
A substantial number of COVID-19 survivors continue to struggle with reduced HRQoL over time.
