abstract = {The main objective of this study was to investigate the impairments presented after
COVID-19 voluntary isolation by lung cancer survivors that experienced radiotherapy-related fatigue.
In this observational study, data were collected after COVID-19 voluntary isolation. Patients were
divided into two groups according to their fatigue severity reported with the Fatigue Severity Scale.
Health status was assessed by the EuroQol-5D, anxiety and depression by the Hospital Anxiety and
Depression Scale, and disability by theWorld Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule
2.0. A total of 120 patients were included in the study. Patients with severe fatigue obtained higher
impairment results compared to patients without severe fatigue, with significant differences in all
the variables (p < 0.05). Lung cancer survivors who experienced severe radiotherapy-related fatigue
presented higher impairments after COVID-19 voluntary isolation than lung cancer patients who did
not experience severe radiotherapy-related fatigue, and showed high levels of anxiety, depression
and disability, and a poor self-perceived health status.},
