Abstract

Comparison of post-intensive care syndrome between critically ill survivors with or without coronavirus disease 2019 (CovP and CovN, respectively) showed that fewer CovP were able to return to work full time at >1 year and none at <1 year after discharge and that the majority of CovP survivors were able to work part time during both evaluation periods compared to CovN.
