Clusters of Survivors of COVID-19 Associated Acute Respiratory Failure According to Response to Exercise

COVID-19 survivors are associated with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and show a high prevalence of impairment in physical performance. The present studied aimed to assess whether we may cluster these individuals according to an exercise test. The presented study is a retrospective analysis of 154...

Clinical characteristics, walked distance, heart rate (HR), pulse oximetry (SpO<sub>2</sub>), dyspnoea, and leg fatigue (Borg scale: Borg-D and Borg-F, respectively) while performing the six-minute walking test (6MWT) were entered into unsupervised clustering analysis.
