摘要
目的:研究COVID长期门诊患者的功能限制、疲劳、健康相关生活质量(HRQL)和社会成本:研究转诊至COVID长期门诊的患者在功能限制、疲劳、健康相关生活质量(HRQL)和社会成本方面的轨迹:设计:基于人群的纵向队列研究,使用实时用户数据:环境:英国 35 家长程慢性阻塞性肺病专科门诊:在2020年8月4日至2022年8月5日期间,4087名在初级或二级医疗机构被诊断为长期COVID的成年人被认为适合康复,并在 "与Covid共存康复(LWCR)"项目中注册:使用工作和社会适应量表(WSAS)拟合广义线性混合模型,以估计功能限制的轨迹;得分≥20分表示中度严重限制。其他结果包括使用慢性疾病治疗功能评估-疲劳(FACIT-F)反向评分(得分≥22分表示功能受损)进行的疲劳评估、使用EQ-5D-5L进行的HRQL评估,以及与COVID相关的长期社会成本(包括医疗成本和生产力损失):在 LWCR 注册 6 个月后,WSAS 平均得分为 19.1(95% CI 18.6,19.6),46% 的参与者(95% CI 40.3%,52.4%)报告 WSAS 得分超过 20(中度严重或更严重的损伤)。6 个月期间,WSAS 评分的平均变化为-0.86(95% CI -1.32, -0.41)。6 个月时,FACIT-F 平均反向评分为 29.1(95% CI 22.7,35.5),而基线评分为 32.0(95% CI 31.7,32.3)。EQ-5D-5L 平均得分在基线(0.63,95% CI 0.62,0.64)和 6 个月(0.64,95% CI 0.59,0.69)之间保持相对稳定。6个月时,每位患者每月与长COVID相关的社会成本为931英镑,主要是与工作日损失相关的成本:结论:英国转诊到长期COVID诊所的患者在登记参加LWCR项目后的6个月内,在功能限制、疲劳、HRQL和工作能力方面均有小幅改善。
Trajectories of functional limitations, health-related quality of life and societal costs in individuals with long COVID: a population-based longitudinal cohort study.
Objectives: To examine trajectories of functional limitations, fatigue, health-related quality of life (HRQL) and societal costs of patients referred to long COVID clinics.
Design: A population-based longitudinal cohort study using real-time user data.
Setting: 35 specialised long COVID clinics in the UK.
Participants: 4087 adults diagnosed with long COVID in primary or secondary care deemed suitable for rehabilitation and registered in the Living With Covid Recovery (LWCR) programme between 4 August 2020 and 5 August 2022.
Main outcome measures: Generalised linear mixed models were fitted to estimate trajectories of functional limitations, using the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS); scores of ≥20 indicate moderately severe limitations. Other outcomes included fatigue using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) reversed score (scores of ≥22 indicate impairment), HRQL using the EQ-5D-5L, and long COVID-related societal costs, encompassing healthcare costs and productivity losses.
Results: The mean WSAS score at 6 months after registration in the LWCR was 19.1 (95% CI 18.6, 19.6), with 46% of the participants (95% CI 40.3%, 52.4%) reporting a WSAS score above 20 (moderately severe or worse impairment). The mean change in the WSAS score over the 6-month period was -0.86 (95% CI -1.32, -0.41). The mean reversed FACIT-F score at 6 months was 29.1 (95% CI 22.7, 35.5) compared with 32.0 (95% CI 31.7, 32.3) at baseline. The mean EQ-5D-5L score remained relatively constant between baseline (0.63, 95% CI 0.62, 0.64) and 6 months (0.64, 95% CI 0.59, 0.69). The monthly societal cost per patient related to long COVID at 6 months was £931, mostly driven by the costs associated with working days lost.
Conclusions: Individuals referred to long COVID clinics in the UK reported small improvements in functional limitations, fatigue, HRQL and ability to work within 6 months of registering in the LWCR programme.
