- Abstract
Introduction: In this study, we look at the prevalence of persistent symptoms, perceived health, mental and physical health twelve months after a COVID-19 infection in people who have and have not been hospitalized due to COVID-19. Methods: The research was conducted by means of an online survey among people who tested positive at the Public Health Service Noord- en Oost-Gelderland and Public Health Service Gelderland-Midden (n = 8232) and among patients who were admitted to the Rijnstate hospital (n = 125). Results: Hospitalized persons report persistent symptoms more often (83.5%) and more on average (3–4 symptoms) than persons who were not hospitalized (45.9% and 1–2 symptoms). Hospitalization increases the risk of worse perceived health (odds ratio (OR) = 2.50; 95%-confidence interval (CI) 1.84–3.38) and more limitation with light (OR = 2.34; 95%-CI 1.77–3.10), moderate (OR = 1.80; 95%-CI 1.37–2.35) and vigorous physical exertion (OR = 2.57; 95%-CI 1.97–3.36), but not the risk of poor mental health (OR = 1.32; 95%-CI 0.94–1.86). Conclusion: People who have been admitted to hospital due to a COVID-19 infection have more frequent and more persistent symptoms twelve months after infection than non-hospitalized people. In addition, hospitalization influences perceived health and limitation of physical exertion twelve months after infection.
