DISEASE, SEQUELAE, LONG COVID
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a highly contagious and harmful pandemic for the human species on March 11, 2020 [Even though most people infected with COVID-19 turn out to be asymptomatic or develop mild-moderate symptoms, it is estimated that around 15% of those affected have progressed to greater severity, requiring hospital care in some cases [Despite rapid characterization of the acute phase of COVID-19, the underlying etiology of prolonged symptoms is still limited. The prevalence of Long COVID illness is higher in women (80%) than in men (20%) [The development and evolution of these persistent symptoms supposes a total alteration of the organism, as well as a general malaise characterized mainly by chronic fatigue and musculoskeletal pain [The physical and mental repercussions are affecting different areas of life such as family, work or social and consequently, their quality of life [On the other hand, the persistent symptoms and sequelae add to the psychosocial impact of interrupted access to health care (such as arranging for regular medication), basic personal routines (such as walking to local stores), social interactions (such as meeting with friends) and support networks [This global impact of prolonged COVID should not be ignored. The quality of life of these patients has suffered a great impact. There is an urgent need to offer rehabilitation treatments to long-term COVID patients, as well as help healthcare workers understand what is required for recovery. The health system, research institutes, and public policies should be involved in their response. To do this, it is necessary to better understand the clinical characterization and individual experiences of patients. In summary, the loss of quality of life, the need for health care, as well as the clinical characterization and diagnostic recognition, make this disease an idea worthy of investigation for the health sector [Hence, the objective of this study is to characterize clinical picture of patients diagnosed with Post COVID-19 Syndrome, in relation to sociodemographic, clinical, affective, cognitive, functional and social variables; as well as to identify factors associated with quality of life of these patients from PHC.
