Summary

This study followed 122 COVID-19 patients who were in the ICU, along with their family members, for up to a year after leaving the hospital. Researchers measured physical health, mental well-being, and how well people returned to work and daily life. The goal was to learn about the long-term challenges survivors face, not to test a new treatment.
