Background: Long COVID is a common, debilitating post-infectious illness for which effective management is unknown. Integrative Medical Group Visits (IMGV) are effective interventions for chronic conditions and could benefit Long COVID patients. More information is needed regarding existing patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to evaluate efficacy of IMGV for Long COVID. Objective: This study assessed the feasibility of specific PROMS to evaluate IMGVs for Long COVID. Findings will inform future efficacy trials. Methods: The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), General Anxiety Disorder two-question tool (GAD-2), Fibromyalgia Symptom Severity scale (SSS), and Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP®) were collected pre- and post-group by teleconferencing platform or telephone and compared using paired t-tests. Patients were recruited from a Long COVID specialty clinic where they participated in 2-hour - 8 weekly IMGV sessions online. Results: Twenty-seven participants enrolled and completed pre-group surveys. Fourteen participants were reachable by phone post-group and completed all pre and post PROMs (78.6% female, 71.4% non-Hispanic White, mean age 49). MYMOP® primary symptomatology was fatigue, shortness of breath and "brain fog". Symptoms decreased in interference when compared to pre-group levels (mean difference −1.3 [95% CI-2.2, −.5]). PSS scores decreased (−3.4 [95% CI -5.8, −1.1]), and GAD-2 mean difference was −1.43 (95% CI –3.12,.26). There were no changes in SSS scores of fatigue (−.21 [95% CI -.68,0.25]), waking unrefreshed (.00 [95%CI -.32, −.32]), or trouble thinking (−.21 [95% CI -.78,0.35]). Conclusion: All PROMs were feasible to administer via teleconferencing platform or telephone. The PSS, GAD-2 and MYMOP® are promising PROMs to track Long COVID symptomatology among IMGV participants. The SSS, while feasible to administer, did not change compared to baseline. Larger, controlled studies are needed to determine the efficacy of virtual IMGVs to address the needs of this large and growing population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
