    The study assessed the longitudinal impact of COVID-19 on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in high-risk individuals over 12 months.

  • 2

    Among 332 participants, the median HRQoL utility score declined from 0.85 pre-COVID-19 to 0.81 at 12 months post-COVID-19.

  • 3

    Solid organ transplant recipients and patients requiring oxygen therapy were identified as at risk for significant HRQoL decline post-COVID-19.

  • 4

    45.3% of employed participants reported COVID-19-related sick leave, which correlated with lower HRQoL utility scores.

    The findings highlight the ongoing burden of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations and emphasize the need for preventive measures.
