Long Term Physical Functional Limitations in Daily Living in SARS-CoV2 Infected Patients Hospitalized in the Acute Phase Then Requiring Rehabilitation

CHU de Reims149 enrolled

Overview

Infection with coronavirus SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19 disease) is unique with its speed of propagation, structural medical reorganizations and length of stay in intensive care needed, diversity of the affected population (in particular between young persons or fragile subjects), and impact on physical and mental health generated by confinement of populations. Fatigue is a major component of COVID-19. Global muscular weakness is related to immobility, inflammation, corticosteroids treatment, hypoxemia due to pulmonary and/or cardiac infectious attacks and undernutrition suggests major physical functional repercussions. Thus, patients affected by COVID-19 with acute hospital management require sometimes complex rehabilitation management. Retrospective studies on physical functional capacities in patients infected with SARS CoV1 showed long term physical activity limitations.

The aim of this study is to study factors associated with physical functional limitations in daily living in patients SARS-CoV2 infected and hospitalized in the acute phase then requiring rehabilitation.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Physical functional limitations

Physical functional limitations evaluated using 'sit to stand' test. The patient, seated in a chair without armrest, his arms crossed over his shoulders, should get up and sit down without help of the upper limbs as many times as possible in one minute.

Time frame: 12 months
