text: Post COVID 19 functional status Relation to age smoking hospitalization and previous comorbidities Recently a new Post COVID 19 Functional Status PCFS scale is recommended in the current COVID 19 pandemic It is proposed that it could be used to display direct retrieval and the functional sequelae of COVID 19 The aim of the study was to assess the PCFS and to evaluate if age gender smoking hospitalization and comorbidities have any effect on functional limitations in recovered COVID 19 patients A total of 444 registered confirmed COVID 19 patients were included They were interviewed in our follow up clinics and filled an Arabic translated PCFS scale as well as their demographic and clinical data Eighty percent of COVID 19 recovered cases have diverse degrees of functional restrictions ranging from negligible 63 1 slight 14 4 moderate 2 to severe 0 5 based on PCFS Furthermore there was a substantial variance between the score of PCFS with age i P i 0 003 gender i P i 0 014 the duration since the onset of the symptoms of COVID 19 i P i 0 001 need for oxygen supplementation i P i 0 001 need for intensive care unit ICU admittance i P i 0 003 previous periodic influenza vaccination i P i 0 001 smoking status i P i 0 001 and finally the presence of any comorbid disorder i P i 0 001 Most of the COVID 19 recovered cases have diverse degrees of functional restrictions ranging from negligible to severe based on PCFS These restrictions were affected by age gender periodic influenza vaccination smoking duration since symptoms onset need for oxygen or ICU admittance and finally the presence of coexisting comorbidity
