abstract = {This study aims to determine whether post-hospitalization psychological distress is associated
with exercise capacity, physical function and health status in COVID-19 survivors. In this
observational study, hospitalized COVID patients were included and divided into two groups according
to the mental component summary subscale of the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey. Patients
with a score ≤ 45 were included in the psychological distress group, and patients with a score > 45
were included in the non-psychological distress group. The main variables were exercise capacity,
physical function, and health status. Patients were evaluated at discharge, 3 months, and at 6 months
follow-up. Finally, a total of 60 patients were included in the study. Significant differences were
found in exercise capacity, physical function, and health status (p < 0.05), with worse results in the
group with psychological distress at discharge and 3 months follow-up. At 6 months after discharge,
COVID patients with psychological distress exhibited worse results in exercise capacity, physical
function, and health status, being significant exercise capacity and physical function (p < 0.05). It
can be concluded that COVID patients with psychological distress at hospital discharge reported
worse exercise capacity, physical function and health status at hospital discharge, 3 months and
6 months follow-up.},
