Summary

The purpose of this RETROSPECTIVE study was to compare the effect of a hospital and home-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CPR) program on exercise endurance and quality of life in post-acute COVID-19 patients.

88 post-acute COVID-19 patients were divided two groups according to receiving hospital (n=45) or home-based CPR (n=43)in our rehabilitation clinic between January and July 2021. Both protocols consisted of aerobic, breathing and flexibility exercises. Hospital-based CPR: three or four days per week for a total of 20 sessions. Home-based CPR: three or four days/a week over a period of six weeks. The results of six meters walk test (6MWT) for exercise endurance as a main outcome measure, and Borg-dyspnea/fatigue, the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) as secondary outcome measures before and after treatment were recorded.
