Key Words Health-related quality of life; Post-COVID-19; Recovery outcomes; Meta-analysis; Quality of life; COVID-19 survivors
Core Tip This systematic review and meta-analysis is the first to comprehensively assess post- coronavirus disease 2019 health-related quality of life in India using validated instruments such as 5-level EuroQol 5-Dimensional questionnaire, Short Form-36 Health Survey, World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Version, and St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire. Findings highlight that overall health-related quality of life recovery was suboptimal, especially among vulnerable groups including older adults, women, and patients with chronic conditions who experienced disproportionately poorer outcomes. The study underscores the importance of targeted, multidisciplinary rehabilitation strategies that address physical, psychological, and social domains of health to improve long-term recovery in post- coronavirus disease 2019 populations.
