Profile of COVID-19 Patients Related to Fatigue

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
More than half of recovered COVID-19 patients experience fatigue. Studies are needed to define the profile of these patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate the profile of surviving patients of COVID-19 in relation to fatigue.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Background: More than half of recovered COVID-19 patients experience fatigue. Studies are needed to define the profile of these patients. Objectives: Evaluate the profile of surviving patients of COVID-19 in relation to fatigue; Methodology: Observational study. The profile of the survivors of COVID-19 will be described, dividing them into 2 groups based on the presence or absence of fatigue. Patients will be recruited from the Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital in Granada. The evaluation will be carried out through Google forms, telematic means or face-to-face depending on the variables. A symptomatic evaluation of fatigue, aspects related to fatigue and physical performance will be carried out.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Perceived Fatigue | To assess perceived fatigue using the borg modified scale. Scale ranges from 0 to 10, with higher punctuation indicating higher fatigue perception. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Multidimensional Fatigue | To assess multidimensional fatigue using the multidimensional fatigue inventory | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Fatigue Severity | To assess fatigue severity using the fatigue severity scale. The total score ranges from 7 to 63 points, with higher punctuation indicating higher fatigue severity | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Fatigue Impact | To assess fatigue impact using the modified fatigue impact scale. All items are scaled so that higher scores indicate a greater impact of fatigue on a person's activities. This scale can range from 0 to 36. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Muscular Fatigue | To assess muscular fatigue using surface electromyography | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| COVID-19 information | To assess information about the date and symptoms when COVID-19 was diagnosed | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Dyspnea | To assess Dyspnea perception using the borg modified scale | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Cough | To assess cough using the leicester cough questionnaire | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Pain intensity | To assess pain intensity using the visual analogue scale and brief pain inventory | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Functional status | To assess functional status using the post-covid functional scale and functional independence measure | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Frailty | To assess frailty using the clinical frailty scale | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Health-related Quality of life | To assess health-related quality of life using the euroqol-5d | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Psychological status | To assess Psychological status using the hospital anxiety and depression scale | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Sleep quality | To assess sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Nutritional status | To assess nutritional status using the mini nutritional assessment | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Physical activity | To assess physical activity using the international physical activity questionnaire. This measure assesses the types of intensity of physical activity and sitting time that people do as part of their daily lives are considered to estimate total physical activity in Metabolic Equivalent (MET)-min/week and time spent sitting. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Kinesiophobia | To assess kinesiophobia using the TAMPA scale | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Exercise capacity | To assess exercise capacity using the Short Physical Performance Battery and the 6 minutes walk test | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Strength | To assess strength using dynamometry | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Heart rate variability | To assess heart rate variability using holter | Through study completion, an average of 1 year |
