Chất lượng cuộc sống ở người bệnh Covid-19 xuất viện tại Bệnh viện Phạm Ngọc Thạch

COVID-19 affects both physical and mental health of patients seriously. Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on patients' health related quality of life is an important key to developing policies and community intervention programs. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 324 inpatient COVID-19 patients at Pham Ngoc Thach hospital; at the time of discharge, in november 2021, the Vietnamese version of the EQ-5D-5L quality of life scale was used for the survey. Health related quality of life score and standard deviation of all 324 study subjects were 0.874 ± 0.216, respectively. More than one-third (33.3%) of participants with COVID-19 had anxiety/melancholy. After multivariate analysis and controlling for potential confounding factors, the study showed that female patients had a higher quality of life than male patients; as age peaks, the quality of life decreased; p revalence of diabetes and/or former pulmonary/extra pulmonary tuberculosis were factors that reduce quality of life among patients with COVID-19. Moreover, screening for mental disorders among hospitalized COVID-19 patients should be done for all patients to identify the problems as the early stage.
