“…Nonetheless, only 36% of the variance in symptom burden at follow-up could be explained by the age of the participants, self-reported health status before the onset of symptoms, self-reported pre-existing comorbidities, and the number of symptoms during the infection. This provides a clear rationale for additional assessment of the underlying physical, emotional, cognitive and social factors by a multidisciplinary team, which is needed to better understand the persistence of these symptoms and to identify possible traits for pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment [20,21]. Previously, interventions for chronic fatigue syndrome or post-viral fatigue were developed [22].…”

“…There is insufficient understanding of the recovery phase of COVID-19, but increasing recognition that patients need a multifaceted approach to the evaluation of residual symptoms and dysfunction. 2 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 Clinicians are commonly faced with patients who present with unexplained persistent chest pain, breathlessness, exercise limitation, and fatigue, weeks after hospitalisation or the onset of symptoms. 22 , 23 The causes of such symptoms are not fully understood, but various factors might be involved, such as restricted lung function, impairment in gas exchange, cardiac dysfunction, and partially resolved thrombus with flow limitation.…”
