“…A PHQ-9 total score of ≥ 5 was considered as “having depression,” while a total score of ≥ 10 and ≥ 15 were defined as “moderate depression” and “severe depression,” respectively [ 15 ]. The cut-offs for mental health consisted of ≤ 44, > 44, indicating weak and medium/good mental health, and for physical health score ≤ 43, > 43, indicating weak and medium/good physical health, respectively [ 16 ]. Based on clinical guidelines, the FEV1(%) and FVC (%) cut-offs were considered 80% to analyze the lung function parameters.…”

Purpose The objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate psychological and quality of life-related complications at three months following discharge in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients during the pandemic in Iran. Methods In this time-point analysis of prospective cohort study data, adult patients hospitalized with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 were enrolled. Patients were stratified in analyses based on severity. The primary outcomes consisted of psychological problems and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in the three months following discharge, with Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as the secondary outcome. Exploratory predictors were determined for both primary and secondary outcomes. Results 283 out of 900 (30%) eligible patients were accessible for the follow-up assessment and included in the study. The mean age was 53.65 ± 13.43 years, with 68% experiencing a severe disease course. At the time of the final follow-up, participants still reported persistent symptoms, among which fatigue, shortness of breath, and cough were the most common. Based on the regression-adjusted analysis, lower levels of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio was associated with higher levels of depression (standardized β = − 0.161 (SE = 0.042), P = 0.017) and stress levels (standardized β = − 0.110 (SE = 0.047), P = 0.015). Furthermore, higher levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin-M (IgM) were associated with significantly lower levels of depression (standardized β = − 0.139 (SE = 0.135), P = 0.031). Conclusions There is an association between lung damage during COVID-19 and the reduction of pulmonary function for up to three months from acute infection in hospitalized patients. Varying degrees of anxiety, depression, stress, and low HRQoL frequently occur in patients with COVID-19. More severe lung damage and lower COVID-19 antibodies were associated with lower levels of psychological health.
