Various follow up studies have reported Lung fibrosis, ARDS, cardiovascular diseases, neurological and neuropsychiatric complications, multiorgan damage, and gastrointestinal complications among recovered COVID-19 patients. Thus, this evidence-based review was done focussing on published articles from the Medline, CINAHL, Social Sciences Citation Index, Psych INFO, a hand search through selected published journals and from references lists. This article provides information regarding complications experienced by recovered COVID-19 patients after being discharged from hospital, affecting their quality of life.
