Background There are emerging data of long-term effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) comprising a diversity of symptoms. The aim of this study was to systematically describe and measure pulmonary and extra-pulmonary post-COVID-19 complications in relation to acute COVID-19 severity.Methods Patients attending a standard of care 3 months post-hospitalisation follow-up visit and those referred by their general practitioner because of persistent post-COVID-19 symptoms were included. Patients underwent symptomatic, quality of life, pulmonary (lung function and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT)), cardiac (high-resolution ECG), physical (1-min sit and stand test (1-MSTST), handgrip strength, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)) and cognitive evaluations.Results All 34 hospitalised and 22 out of 23 non-hospitalised patients had >= 1 complaint or abnormal finding at follow-up. Overall, 67% of patients were symptomatic (Medical Research Council (MRC) >= 2 or COPD assessment test (CAT) >= 10), with no difference between hospitalised versus non-hospitalised patients. Pulmonary function ( forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) or diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D-LCO))
