“…A previous longitudinal study revealed that female gender and chronic comorbidities were independent predictors of the subsequent emergence of PTSD in SARS survivors [ 27 ]. Akin to our own results, a number of other studies to date confirmed the higher likelihood of female COVID-19 patients and survivors to experience mental health problems compared to their male counterparts [ 28 ].…”

“…Unsurprisingly, quality of life was significantly worse for patients that have had an admission to the ICU and a longer stay in hospital but was unrelated to sex, the presence of comorbidities or any of the mental health outcomes. In the systematic review by Dorri et al [ 28 ], COVID-19 survivors showed reduced HRQoL and a lower score in Social Functioning (SF) compared to pre-COVID-19 and controls, though risk factors such as female gender, adverse psychological outcomes and ICU admission varied across included studies.…”

“…This decline in anxious and depressive feelings may well result from the relief of recovery and hospital discharge. In fact, in a systematic review of 21 studies [ 28 ], the pooled prevalence of depression and anxiety among COVID-19 survivors was 12% (8 to 17%) and 17% (12 to 22%), respectively. Similarly, a recent meta-analysis revealed that PTSD (32.2%), anxiety disorders (14.8%), and depression (14.9%) were prevalent among survivors of other coronaviruses at a mean follow up of 35 months [ 7 ].…”

“…In an earlier study of 115 discharged patients in Italy, 10.4% of the sample received a PTSD diagnosis, while a further 8.6% met three out of four of the criteria at 3 months post-discharge [ 31 ]. In the aforementioned systematic review by Dorri et al [ 28 ], the pooled prevalence of PTSD among COVID-19 survivors was 18%; patients with severe disease displayed higher prevalence of depression and anxiety, but not PTSD.…”

Evidence to date suggests that a significant proportion of COVID-19 patients experience adverse psychological outcomes and neuropsychiatric complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection and subsequent hospitalization on the mental health, sleep, and quality of life of COVID-19 survivors. Patients were assessed 1–2 months after hospital discharge using standardized screening tools for depression and anxiety (HADS), post-traumatic stress disorder (IES-R), insomnia (AIS), and quality of life (EQ-5D-5L). Sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, disease severity and type of hospitalization were also collected. Amongst the 143 patients included, mental health symptoms were common (depression—19%; anxiety—27%; traumatic stress—39%; insomnia—33%) and more frequently reported in female than in male patients. Age, smoking status, comorbidities and illness severity were not found to significantly correlate with the presence of mood, sleep, or stress disorders. Finally, quality of life was worse for patients requiring ICU (p = 0.0057) or a longer hospital stay (p < 0.001) but was unaffected by factors such as sex and other measured outcomes. These findings highlight the need for appropriate intervention to properly manage the immediate and enduring mental health complications of COVID-19.

“…We noticed a lack of research articles focused on QoL in older adults during and after COVID-19. Most of the published research on the assessment of QoL after COVID-19 focuses on other groups, e.g., survivors of COVID-19 [ 21 ], health care professionals [ 22 ], and a relatively younger population and female gender [ 23 ]. We assessed the QoL in the elderly population in six Low Middle-Income Asian countries using an online survey tool that provides some interesting and unique insights.…”

Background: Few studies have explored the determinants of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Identifying these factors may help implement appropriate policies to enhance HRQoL in the elderly. Therefore, we aimed to identify the predictors of physical and mental component summary (PCS and MCS) scores of HRQoL in selected six low- and middle-income Asian countries. Methods: We conducted an online survey of older people aged ≥55 years in six countries: Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Palestine, and Sri Lanka. The Stark QoL questionnaire was used to measure the PCS and MCS scores. Univariate and multiple variable analyses after adjusting for confounders were performed to identify the possible predictors of PCS and MCS. Results: A total of 1644 older people (69.1 ± 7.8 years, range 55–97 years, Female: 50.9%) responded to the survey. We documented age, country of residence, marital status, number of male children, current employment status, and health insurance, ability to pay household bills, frequency of family members visits and receiving support during COVID-19 pandemic predicted both PCS and MCS. However, gender, residence, and number of female children were associated with PCS only (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: Socio-demographic factors such as age, country of residence, marital status, number of male children, current employment status, health insurance, ability to pay household bills, frequency of family members visiting family members, and receiving support during the COVID-19 pandemic affecting both physical and mental quality of life. These results can guide formulating health care planning policies to enhance QoL during COVID-19 and future pandemics in the elderly.
