Differences in acute COVID-19 associated morbidity based on race, ethnicity, and gender have been well described; however, less is known about differences in subsequent longer term health-related quality of life and well-being.
This prospective cohort study included symptomatic adults tested for SARS-CoV-2 who completed baseline and 3-month follow-up surveys. Using the PROMIS-29 tool, a validated measure of health and well-being, we compared outcomes at 3 months and change in outcomes from baseline to 3 months among groups with different races, ethnicities, and/or sexes.
Among 6044 participants, 4113 (3202 COVID +) were included. Among COVID + participants, compared to non-Hispanic White participants, Black participants had better PROMIS T-scores for cognitive function (3.6 [1.1, 6.2]) and fatigue (- 4.3 [- 6.6, - 2.0]) at 3 months and experienced more improvement in fatigue over 3 months (- 2.7 [- 4.7, - 0.8]). At 3 months, compared with males, females had worse PROMIS T-scores for cognitive function (- 4.1 [- 5.6, - 2.6]), physical function (- 2.1 [- 3.1, - 1.0]), social participation (- 2.8 [- 4.2, - 1.5]), anxiety (2.8 [1.5, 4.1]), fatigue (5.1 [3.7, 6.4]), and pain interference (2.0 [0.9, 3.2]). Females experienced less improvement in fatigue over 3 months (3.1 [2.0, 4.3]). Transgender/non-binary/other gender participants had worse 3-month scores in all domains except for sleep disturbance and pain interference.
Three months after the initial COVID-19 infection, Black participants reported better cognitive function and fatigue, while females and other gender minoritized groups experienced lower well-being. Future studies are necessary to better understand how and why social constructs, specifically race, ethnicity, and gender, influence differences in COVID-19-related health outcomes.

基于种族、族裔和性别的急性新冠病毒病相关发病率差异已有详尽描述;然而,对于后续长期健康相关生活质量和幸福感的差异了解较少。
这项前瞻性队列研究纳入了有症状的接受新冠病毒2检测的成年人,他们完成了基线和3个月随访调查。使用PROMIS - 29工具(一种经过验证的健康和幸福感测量工具),我们比较了不同种族、族裔和/或性别的组在3个月时的结果以及从基线到3个月结果的变化。
在6044名参与者中,4113名(3202名新冠病毒检测呈阳性)被纳入。在新冠病毒检测呈阳性的参与者中,与非西班牙裔白人参与者相比,黑人参与者在3个月时认知功能(3.6 [1.1, 6.2])和疲劳(-4.3 [-6.6, -2.0])的PROMIS T分数更好,并且在3个月内疲劳改善更多(-2.7 [-4.7, -0.8])。在3个月时,与男性相比,女性在认知功能(-4.1 [-5.6, -2.6])、身体功能(-2.1 [-3.1, -1.0])、社会参与(-2.8 [-4.2, -1.5])、焦虑(2.8 [1.5, 4.1])、疲劳(5.1 [3.7, 6.4])和疼痛干扰(2.0 [0.9, 3.2])方面的PROMIS T分数更差。女性在3个月内疲劳改善较少(3.1 [2.0, 4.3])。跨性别/非二元/其他性别参与者在除睡眠障碍和疼痛干扰外的所有领域3个月时得分更差。
在初次感染新冠病毒病3个月后,黑人参与者报告的认知功能和疲劳状况更好,而女性和其他性别少数群体的幸福感较低。未来有必要开展研究,以更好地理解社会结构,特别是种族、族裔和性别,如何以及为何会影响新冠病毒病相关健康结果的差异。试验注册ClinicalTrials.gov标识符:NCT04610515。
