Follow- up of physical and psychological function after severe Covid-19

Urgent need: Follow-up regarding physical and mental function is an important part of the rehabilitation of the patient after the Covid-19 review. As this is an ongoing pandemic and we do not know how long it will last, we need to collect data now. We do not know much about the aftermath of the remaining function and need for rehabilitation, therefore it is of utmost importance to find out in order to give patients an optimal rehabilitation throughout the care chain. Objective: We want to evaluate physical and mental function during the care period and up to one year after discharge in patients with Covid-19, and how these patients experience rehabilitation afterwards. We also want to be able to evaluate the effects of different interventions. Method: Data collection will take place with physical tests, questionnaires, data from patient records and interviews. Follow-up of patients takes place at 3, 6 and 12 months after discharge. Different methods will be used to be able to describe processes, care transitions and effects of implemented measures, as well as experiences from patients, throughout the care chain. Relevance: As this is a new disease, we do not know today how patients who have been ill feel, what function they have, how the rehabilitation will work and how they experience it. As patients experience many different types of symptoms, different skills and perspectives need to evaluate and analyze different factors in order for patients to receive optimal rehabilitation throughout the care process. as well as experiences from patients, throughout the care chain.
