| Why carry out this study? |
| HCWs have contributed greatly to the fight against coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the rehabilitation management of HCWs should be considered important. However, the information on long‐term consequences and rehabilitation management of HCWs recovering from COVID‐19 is limited |
| We aimed to evaluate the long-term pulmonary, physical, and mental health rehabilitation state of HCWs and their risk factors and correlation |
| What were the study outcomes/conclusions? |
| Most surviving HCWs, especially females, had an abnormal diffusion capacity at 1 year |
| Long-term follow-up of pulmonary, physical, and psychiatric functions for surviving HCWs is required, and a comparison study of the difference in these long-term consequences between HCWs and non-HCWs is needed |
