dc.descriptionCOVID-19 has resulted in a growing population of individuals with a range of persistent symptoms that develop during or after SARS-CoV-2 infection, continue for ≥ 12 weeks, and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis. Significant physical, psychological, and cognitive impairments may persist despite clinical resolution of the infection. Post-acute COVID-19 rehabilitation will assume increasing importance as a surge of patients are discharged from hospital, placing a burden on health systems. The rehabilitation needs of patients are varied and multi-faceted, and post COVID-19 clinics should offer multidisciplinary assessments. Experience from recently established COVID-19 recovery services in Ireland and Britain suggests that significant physical, psychological and cognitive impairments may persist; and that multidisciplinary teams should integrate respiratory, cardiology, rheumatology, radiology, psychology and immunology services into an holistic post-discharge model of follow-up. Emerging literature emphasizes the importance of assessment of post-acute COVID-19 patients after discharge; and of preparedness with appropriate clinical rehabilitation pathways. Initial multidisciplinary assessment post-COVID-19 may play a role in reducing unnecessary chest X-rays and clinic appointments, and in helping to focus on those most likely to require follow-up.en_US
