Little is known about the long-term consequence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). We carried out an assessment on SARS patients after their recovery from their acute illness.
Postal survey comprising Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) questionnaires and anxiety and depression measures was sent to them at 3 months' postdischarge.
There was a significant impairment in both the HRQoL and mental functioning. Forty-one percent had scores indicative of a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); about 30% had likely anxiety and depression.
SARS has significant impact on HRQoL and psychological status at 3 months.
关于严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)的长期后果知之甚少。我们对SARS患者急性病康复后的情况进行了评估。
在出院3个月时,向他们邮寄包含健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)问卷以及焦虑和抑郁测评的调查问卷。
健康相关生活质量和心理功能均有显著损害。41%的患者得分表明患有创伤后应激障碍(PTSD);约30%的患者可能存在焦虑和抑郁。
