Summary

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) took a toll in institutionalised older adults, who represent a vulnerable population in European countries. The aim of this study is to identify the predictive factors that worsens lung function in post-COVID nursing home (NH) residents. This is a multicenter case-control study in nursing homes of Osona (Catalonia), where individuals with worsened (cases) and normal (controls) lung function will be studied. The inclusion criteria are: female and male from 65 to 95 years old, preserved cognitive capacity and positive diagnosis of COVID-19 at least 3 months prior. We will assess sociodemographic variables, lung function \[spirometry\], fatigue \[Chalder Fatigue Scale\], frailty \[Clinical Frailty Scale\], and activities of daily living (ADL) \[modified Barthel index\].
