Methods Of 255 patients included, 194 participated at 12 months. Patients completed the Impact of Event Scale (IES), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Life Orientation Test (LOT) at 4 to 6 weeks, 3 and 12 months and ICU memory tool at the first assessment (baseline). Case level for post traumatic stress symptoms with high probability of a post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was ≥ 35. Case level of HADS-Anxiety or Depression was ≥ 11. Memory of pain during ICU stay was measured at baseline on a five-point Likert-scale (0-low to 4-high). Patient demographics and clinical variables were controlled for in logistic regression analyses. Results Mean IES score one year after ICU treatment was 22.5 (95%CI 20.0 to 25.1) and 27% (48/180) were above case level, IES ≥ 35. No significant differences in the IES mean scores across the three time points were found (P = 0.388). In a subgroup, 27/170 (16%), patients IES score increased from 11 to 32, P < 0.001. No differences in post traumatic stress, anxiety or depression between medical, surgical and trauma patients were found. High educational level (OR 0.4, 95%CI 0.2 to 1.0), personality trait (optimism) OR 0.9, 95%CI 0.8 to 1.0), factual recall (OR 6.6, 95%CI 1.4 to 31.0) and memory of pain (OR 1.5, 95%CI 1.1 to 2.0) were independent predictors of post traumatic stress symptoms at one year. Optimism was a strong predictor for less anxiety (OR 0.8, 0.8 to 0.9) and depression symptoms (OR 0.8, 0.8 to 0.9) after one year.

Left uncounted are those who got COVID—and are still alive but suffering brutally. These so-called "long-haulers" can't shake Post-COVID Syndrome, and have had their lives ruined, possibly forever. It's an "unexplainable symptom complex that seems to be consistent among them without any laboratory data to indicate why they may be feeling that way," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, told Mark Zuckerberg last month.

PICS is a relatively under-recognized issue, despite the fact that it affects a large number of people treated in an ICU, according to Patricia Ohtake, PT, Ph.D., an associate professor in the physical therapy program in the University at Buffalo's School of Public Health and Health Professions. Ohtake has tailored her recent research on the rehabilitation of ICU survivors to reflect working with COVID-19 patients, particularly how physical therapy can aid in their recovery at home.

This is significant as it marks the date that the World Physiotherapy was founded in 1951. World Physiotherapy is the voice of the global physiotherapy community and we unite each year to raise awareness of our role in the medical fraternity. This year was celebrated under the theme ‘Rehabilitation after COVID-19’. Physiotherapists are a critical part of the management of COVID-19 patients worldwide. Here in Jamaica, we have been playing our role in managing our critically ill patients since March, when the first case was diagnosed. You may ask, how can a physiotherapist help to manage this condition? Well, there are two main phases that we fall into; first, there is the acute-subacute management, and second, rehabilitation after COVID-19.
